The Bible Belt is a geographical region including part of the South and midsection of the United States. It is so called because of the rough shape of the region: it resembles a belt around much of the lower middle of the nation. Social conservatism is the dominant paradigm within the Bible Belt.
The Bible Belt includes all of the southern states and some of the surrounding.
