The Bible Belt is a cultural region of the United States covering the Southern states, Missouri, and parts of the Mid-Atlantic where evangelical Protestantism carries strong social and cultural influence. The region is marked by higher rates of church attendance, a greater concentration of evangelical Protestant denominations, and an emphasis on traditional religious values and social conservatism relative to other parts of the country.
