What is the only predominantly Baptist state in the world?
Wikipedia reports that "Nagaland is the only predominantly Baptist state in the world, which constitutes 75% of the state's population, thus making it more Baptist (on a percentage basis) than Mississippi in the southern United States, where 52% of its population is Baptist. Roman Catholics, Revivalists, and Pentecostals are the other Christian denomination numbers. Catholics are found in significant numbers in parts of Wokha district and Kohima district as also in the urban areas of Kohima and Dimapur. 7.70% population belongs Hinduism, who are mainly live in Dimapur and Kohima."
"Baptist church, Alichen, Nagaland. Many Ao people in Nagaland are very
devout Baptists due to the American missionary, Dr. Clark, coming to the
area about 100 years ago."
