==Geographical extent==
Tweedie (1978) defines the Bible belt in terms of the audience for religious television. He finds two belts, one more eastern that stretches from northern [[Florida]] through [[Alabama]], [[Tennessee]], [[Kentucky]], [[North Carolina|North]] and [[South Carolina]], and into [[Virginia]], and another that is more western, moving from central Texas to the Dakotas, but concentrated in [[Texas]], [[Arkansas]], [[Louisiana]], [[Oklahoma]], [[Missouri]], and [[Mississippi]]. Notably absent from this belt, however, is the area of [[New Orleans]] and southern Louisiana, where [[Roman Catholicism|Catholicism]] is predominant.<ref>{{cite web
