Faith, religion, and spirituality in the City of Burton, Michigan are the focus of topics in this guide. For the most part, these will include websites representing places of worship within the city.
A recent poll determined that people in Burton were slightly less religious than those in the state, as a whole. Of those who named a religious affiliation, a large majority identified with a Christian religion. Although Protestants greatly outnumbered the Catholics, the most popular Christian denomination was Catholicism, as the Protestants were divided between several denominations, including the Baptists, Lutherans, Methodists, Pentecostals, Presbyterians, Mormons, Episcopalians, and other denominations and non-denominational churches.
More than two percent of respondents identified with Islam, and two-tenths of a percent identified with Judaism.
Websites representing places of worship in Burton, regardless of the specific religion, denomination, or sect, are appropriate for this category, as are informational sites focused on faith and spirituality within the city.
