I’d be curious how this squares with 100,000+ churches that are expected to close in the next few years in the US. From a longitudinal study perspective, one would expect dominance to decline as structural systems it relies on head towards failure.

15,000 churches could close this year amid religious shift in U.S - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46484284 - January 2026

I would have expected Idaho to be a lot higher than Wyoming. Just anecdotally I have only met LDS (Mormons) and unaffiliated. Curious what part of Wyoming the nationalists are hiding in. I also expected to find a lot of far right but I mostly just find people that like me wanted freedom. i.e. to be left alone. There are Trumpers but that's about it. There are no political parties or religions for me.

I found an old article [1] but it does not give me a specific location. I want to know where to stay clear of.

This is a good time to point out that Project 2025, which is the basis of the Trump 2.0 administration, is mostly authored by a Christian nationalist. That person is Russell Vought, who is now in charge of the OMB (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell_Vought) even though he has no qualification for this position. And also, he is very literally anti constitution (https://www.wakeweekly.com/columns/russell-vought-isnt-wrong...) and wants to replace our laws with laws rooted in Christianity - part of a movement called Integralism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integralism).
