Following  a class discussion that included the question, “Are there any big churches in New England?” I thought I’d look for the answer, and oddly enough YSMarko linked to a recent NY Times map showing the geographical location of all 1,300 American churches with over 2,000 people in weekly attendance.  That works out to 4.3 million Americans who attend megachurches.  There are some interesting distributions, but as I suspected few megachurches in New England (despite what YSMarko assumes, New Jersey and New York aren’t generally consided part of New England).  Further information on the demographics, geographical distribution, and influence of megachurches can be found at Hartford Seminary’s Institute for Religion Research.  Click the image below to expand.
