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 and the majority of the inhabitants are practising Christians (hence the 'Bible' belt). Social conservatism is a dominant paradigm within the Bible Belt.

The Bible Belt includes all of the southern states as well as the Lower Midwestern States.
