Bible belt
Conservative Christian region
The Bible belt is a region of the United States, primarily in the South and lower Midwest, characterized by conservative Protestant Christianity and its influence on culture and politics.
The term usually carries a faintly dismissive tone, suggesting religious traditionalism and social conservatism: Growing up in the Bible belt, I didn't meet an atheist until college.
