Religion

The 2014 Pew Religious Landscape Survey showed the religious makeup of the state was as follows:^[127]

• Christian 70%
  • 24% Evangelical Protestant
  • 21% Catholic
  • 14% Mainline Protestant
  • 8% Black Protestant
  • 3% Other Christian
• 3% Jewish
• 3% Other non-Christian faiths
• 24% Unaffiliated

In 2010, the three largest denominational groups in Florida were the Roman Catholic Church, the Southern Baptist Convention, and the United Methodist Church.^[128]
Florida is mostly Protestant, but Roman Catholicism is the single largest denomination in the state, due in significant part to the state's large Hispanic population. There is also a sizable Jewish community, located mainly in South Florida; this is the largest Jewish population in the South and the third-largest in the U.S. behind those of New York and
