The Swedish Bible Belt (Swedish: bibelbältet) is a region centered on Jönköping in northern Småland where demographics show that people are characteristically more religious.[1] In the Bible Belt the free churches are relatively popular in comparison to the Church of Sweden.[1] Of the Småland counties, Jönköping is characterised by the Free Church, Kalmar by the High Church and Kronoberg by the Old Church.

In a broader sense, the Bible Belt refers to the area between Jönköping and Gothenburg.[2]
There are also numerous conservative Laestadian Lutherans in the Torne valley area in the far north of the country.
