The Whiting On The Wall. . . U*Us As A Percentage Of The Population Of The U.S.A.



This map shows the number of card-carrying Unitarian*Universalists as a percentage of the total population of each *county* in the United States of America. At no time does the population of U*Us ever exceed 1.5 percent of the population of any U.S. county.

White sections of the map indicate counties where no members of the Unitarian Universalist Association are reported. It lends a whole new meaning to Unitarian*Universalism being an overwhelmingly white denomination. . .

So much for Thomas Jefferson's vision of a day when every American would be a Unitarian.

There's something wrong with that map. It says there are no UUs at all in my county, and there are a bunch of us.

It is possible that the map is somewhat flawed. It is based on UUA statistics that are now at least sebven years old but it still does a creditable job of showing just how few Americans have chosen the U*U "faith". If, instead of representing counties where no U*Us whatsoever were reported, the white sections represented counties where U*Us made up less than 0.1 percent of the overall population it would be every bit as white if not somewhat whiter. If that standard was applied to states rather than counties I expect that the map would be quite a bit whiter. . . There are many states where if the number of U*Us was divided into the overall population of the state that it would be well below 0.1 percent. I think that the map more than adequately makes my point even if it is not completely reliable.
