Did you read the accompanying text on Wiki? The term "Bible Belt" is a 
derisive term
coined by H. L. Mencken, a Baltimore journalist, who had a special 
hatred for the
"south" and Baptists (exceeding his hatred for everything else).  But I 
don't want to do
Mencken injustice. He was a brilliant and witty writer and fun to read 
even now. Try him if you
haven't. :)
