Edit 2/8/2024: Re-updated the borders for Appalachia.

There were many great cultural and spiritual paradigm shifts which came with the collapse of the United States and the ensuing Dissolution Wars. One which may catch viewers' attention is that Atheism is now the predominant religion in the vast majority of the former Bible Belt. A lot of this has to do with the supremacy of socialist lines of thinking forming the backbone of the various Black-Nationalist armies which would be a part of the Freedom Army for Black Americans (FABA), which would later be rebranded as the New Afrika Nationalist Party, which would later rebrand as Kingsland once they had secured their borders and signed various treaties with other neighboring Former-US warlord states.
Other factors included anti-Christian and anti-colonial psyops by far-left factions within the nation of Kingsland, which resulted in a generational shift away from the Southern Baptist Convention, and toward other denominations such as Wesleyan Christianity, African Zion Churches, or even mass conversion to Islam. Atheists still outnumber faithful in Kingsland as of 2110, by a little over half. The largest non-Abrahamic religion in Kingsland is Hinduism. It should be noted that in regards to Islam in Kingsland, there is a clear difference between Islam and Fardism (as in the cult and domestic terror organization attacking whites and jews, calling themselves the NOI, or Nation of Islam, or Hoteps, founded by William Fard Mohammed) that is recognized within the Federal Government of Kingsland, however this does not stop a great many Islamophobe from attacking either party and confusing one for the other. Hoteps / Fardists are a suppressed group throughout North America, treated as "the KKK but black". Traditional African faiths or local folk religions also shot up in popularity alongside conversions to Islam, such as Louisiana Voodoo, Isese/Yoruba, and even the Oyotunji faith centered in former South Carolina. Oyotunji and their succession of kings would later recieve special protections under Kingsland's religious rights reform act, which also cemented the "Oba" of the faith as a person of high importance with special government protections.
Lutheranism, both in Mainline and Evangelical forms, have seen a particular rise in the Great Lakes and within the Great Plains region. Over time, the Missouri Synod would overtake the number of Baptists within the nation of Ozarkia, and would continue to spread it's influence and prestige into other nations of the Upper South, such as the Central Plains Republic, Appalachia. They also have influence in parts of the Great Lakes Republic (mainly in Illinois, Indiana, and southwestern Michigan). the Missouri Synod is Confessional, and a largely conservative church, which is in direct contrast to the Mainline Churches which preach more progressive outlooks and more wholesome views of Christianity, which has garnered them more and more followers over time as the Great Lakes Confederation and it's neighbors in the former Laurentine Confederation gradually take greater swings toward politically progressive viewpoints. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, by contrast, spans its reach across the upper Mississippi basin and Ohio Valley, and into upper Appalachia. It's the largest protestant denomination in all of North America by far, and there is a sizable population of Lutherans throughout what used to be Pennsylvania. There is also the Wisconsin Sect and Mission Churches, which are also Lutheran, however their numbers pale in comparison to the LCMS and ELCA. In the Great Lakes Confederation, the largest non-Christian religion is Sha'afi Islam, with the largest community of adherents to Islam being Somali, followed shortly after by Levantine Arabs, who mainly practice the Hanafi school.
Catholicism in North America has it's deepest roots in parts of the Midwest, the Ohio Valley, but especially in the Northeast and Southwest. Due to the micro-schism taking place within the Catholic Church, between traditional and New Reformist factions, it has created a similar divide between progressive and conservative protestants. New England and the North Atlantic Republic in particular have some of the largest shares of Irish, Italian, Hispanic and German Catholic heritage in North America. In the case of New England, that share is largely French and Italian. Besides the Northeast; Chicago, Green Bay and Dubuque have the largest Catholic populations of any city in the Great Lakes Confederation.
Quebec has maintained a more conservative religious stance, with it's government and over 78% of it's people remaining at the side of the Pope and his decisions, admonishing the New Reformists. It's created some mild tension between Quebec and her neighbors to her south.
Almost all of Latin America has declared themselves in support of the Reformists, with the vast majority of their populations also declaring themselves such. The same however could not be said for the Central American Federation, who align themselves more closely with a vast majority of Western European nations.
Speaking of Central America, the first country on earth since the 1470s to have a Moravian / Hussite majority would be Miskito, which would come to rival the traditionalist Catholic Centroamericana. mass conversions to Moravianism happened throughout the 2080s as it became intrinsically tied to Miskito nationalism. The second largest Moravian population in the Americas comes in the form of Suriname.
The reason I put the Cuban Warlord States and Sonora as 'no data', is because either they're too busy being engaged in constant civil conflict to get definitive answers as to which religion lies in the majority. Santeria, Vodou, Catholicism, and several other vaguely understood or not greatly known folk religions are present throughout the various Cubano states. It should be noted though, that some of the Warlord factions such as the Nueva Gerona Thassalocracy entirely forbid any practice beyond Roman Catholicism.
Texas created a nationally-backed church, which blended aspects of Lutheranism and Baptism which were common in the area up until the 2050s. Similar to the situation in Ozarkia, Texas' nationalized church worked alongside the government to ensure a consistency between preached faith, and the government's agendas. Catholicism became stigmatized alongside being Latino, treated as second-class, but Texas' relationship with their Latino population is complicated due to requiring them as a work force or not being able to entirely remove them, however the general consensus of Texas being a white-supremacist state is generally considered a no-brainer. The same extremists responsible for the fall of the US, the United Patriot Front, also worked alongside other extremists such as the KKK to fabricate the current government of Texas. Texas has unashamedly worked alongside the openly fascist country of England during the ongoing Atlantic Tensions. Texas has an extremely strict immigration policy, however in recent years as of 2110 is opening themselves up to student exchange programs with the nation of Serbia in Europe, and with the Republic of England. By Texas' law, only worshipers of denominations of Christianity are allowed on Texan soil, and there is a push by members of Texas' extremist far-right parties to limit that law to Protestantism, which would call for a holy war against the Hispanic Catholics situated near the Rio Grande. Texas is currently being investigated by the Human Rights Watch and the ICJ for objective human rights abuses.
California's catholic majority is incredibly slim, 50.1% of the population is Catholic, with the second largest population being irreligious, third being Protestant, and the rest each barely make up more than 2% of the population of California. This is an incredible change from the Protestant majority back in 2014. The religious population of California is mainly made up of Hispanics. California's second and third official languages are Spanish and Chinese, and many of the East-Asian migrants who move to California happen to be Catholic converts, especially from Vietnam, Korea, or Cambodia. The majority of the Protestant Californians reside in the historic 'Jefferson' region in the north of the country, near it's (disputed) border with Cascadia.
Cascadia has had an Atheist majority of roughly 62% for the past couple of decades as of 2110. The largest Christian denomination in Cascadia is Lutheranism, specifically the ELCA Church that falls in communion with other European protestants. Following Lutheranism, comes Orthodox Christianity. The largest non-Christian faith in Cascadia is Sikhism, followed shortly afterwards by Sunni Islam.
Atheists make up the majority in the Republic of Athapaska, however most of the said Atheists happen to live in the southern regions, while the rest of the Republic practices a mix of various Protestant faiths including Lutheranism, Anglicanism, and Methodism. This also doesn't account for the various vibrant native faiths.
The native religions themselves are most exemplified in the reclaimed and rebounded spiritual movements of the California-propped native republics being carved out of Sonora. The Seri people have maintained their traditional religion and language for well over a thousand years, and now have recieved their own republic under the protection of California. Hiaki-and-Yoreme also got the same treatment, their population increasing significantly over the course of it's existence since it's founding in 2076. Hawaii has fully restored it's native beliefs and it's control over themselves after an arduous fight, known as the Haole War. Methodist Christianity is the second largest religion of the Republic of Hawaii. Following in order of prominence comes Shinto (by Japanese migrants), Catholicism (Filipinos mainly), and then Ijun (Kanaka Maoli converts to an Okinawan new-world religion).
The folk religions of the various natives of Dinetah greatly outnumber the other faiths present in the area. I found it more fitting to just label them all that way.
Mormons in Deseret is self-explanatory.
East-Cherokee and Sequoyah being predominantly Baptist also makes sense, historically.
Jamaica is largely Wesleyan, which along with the Gullah-Geechee people also having history with that denomination, it made all the more sense for the people of Kingsland to convert to it en masse, alongside traditional African faiths as previously mentioned before.
West Florida remains the last vestige of the Southern Baptist Convention, slowly melting and flickering away like a candle. There soon may be revolution on the horizon for the destitute dictatorship.
