Bible Belt (disambiguation)
Bible Belt is an informal term for a region in the southeastern and south-central United States in which socially conservative evangelical protestantism is a significant part of the culture.
It is also used more generically for any region of a country that is more conservative and religious than the country as a whole, as in:
Social geography
- Bible Belt (Netherlands) (Dutch: bijbelgordel or biblebelt), a strip of land in the Netherlands, which is inhabited chiefly by conservative Protestants

- Bible Belt (Norway) (Norwegian: bibelbeltet), the southwestern coastal area of Norway between Aust-Agder and Møre og Romsdal, which is more religious than most of Norway.
