Utah stands out on this to me. This map conflates all denominations of shared religions, and Utah is notably 50% Mormon and 13% other Christian denominations. Since some denominations of a shared religion are significantly different from each other and can shape the cultural landscape, it seems like part of the picture is missing with just the information shown.
I think it would also be helpful if this map also noted which states had a second most common religion at more than 1% or so of the population.
Mormons are Christians in the same way Baptists and Catholics are both Christians. It's not different enough to be considered a whole new religion.
