Religions of U.S. House Members Mapped

BuzzFeed yesterday posted an interesting set of maps that illustrate by district the religious affiliation of all 435 members of the U.S. House of Representatives. The posting adds:
There are 31 religions represented in the House, including 26 different sects of Christianity. Catholics make up the largest group with 136 members, followed by Baptists with 66 members, Methodists with 45 members, Anglicans/Episcopalians with 35 members, Presbyterians with 28 members, and Jews with 22 members. There is only one atheist.
