A serious question that may at first glance seem flippant - how, actually, is the Bible Belt defined? Obviously we all understand it to be the strongly religious swath of the Southern States, but is this fairly vague and anecdotal description as precise as the definition gets? Or is it ever qualified? e.g. "Counties with > XX% churchgoing Southern Baptists?", or some such similar demogrpahic delimiter?
