Not long after the presidential election, Dean Baquet, executive editor of The New York Times, admitted his paper has had a blind spot when it comes to faith. \u201cWe don\u2019t get religion,\u201d he told NPR\u2019s Terri Gross. \u201cWe don\u2019t get the role of religion in people\u2019s lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

One reason it\u2019s difficult to get religion in America: The religious landscape changes dramatically, depending on where you live, according to the Public Religion Research Institute.<\/p>\n

In New York, members of non-Christian faiths\u2014including Jews, Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists\u2014outnumber white evangelicals by a 6-to-1 margin. And Protestants of color outnumber white Protestants 3-to-1. Catholics are the largest religious group by far.<\/p>\n

By contrast, in Nashville, white evangelicals are the largest faith group. And white Protestants outnumber non-Christians by a 12-to-1 margin. They also outnumber Protestants of color 3-to-1. Yet Nashville has a larger share of nones (24 percent) than New York (22 percent).<\/p>\n

In Portland, the nones rule. One in 3 people has no religious affiliation (34 percent). And there are almost as many followers of other faiths (5 percent) as Protestants of color (6 percent).<\/p>\n

In Chicago, meanwhile, more than half of residents are Catholics (29 percent) or nones (22 percent), and there are equal numbers of Protestants of color and white Protestants.<\/p>\n
