Most Americans are Christians and, although most are not Catholic, there are more Catholics than members of any other denomination. You will have no trouble finding a Catholic Mass if you are traveling here. Parts of the country have Baptist, Presbyterian, and Methodist churches by the dozen, but just about every town has a Catholic church and some have only a Catholic church.
