UNITED STATES, July 18, 2026 (Visual Capitalist): Christianity remains the largest religion across the United States, but the country’s leading non-Christian faith varies considerably by region. New York has the country’s largest recorded non-Christian population, at roughly 1.7 million people, and the highest share, at 8.5%. Using estimates from the 2020 U.S. Religion Census, the map shows the largest recorded non-Christian religion in every state. Conducted every 10 years, the census tracks religious congregations and estimates adherents across hundreds of faith traditions. Several Western and Pacific states break from the broader national pattern. Mahayana Buddhism is the largest non-Christian religion in Hawaii, Nevada, and Washington. Hinduism ranks first in Colorado, Delaware, Kansas, Nebraska, and Oregon. New Mexico is another outlier. There, Hindu yoga and meditation organizations form the largest recorded group after Christianity. These communities are smaller in absolute terms, but they still represent the largest recorded non-Christian faith in those states.
