Like other midsize cities in the southern
US, Florence's population is largely dominated by Protestantism, the largest
being the Southern Baptists, followed by the Methodists. The rest of the
population are distributed among other Protestant denominations as well as the
Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox Churches. The Greek Orthodox Church holds a
large Greek Festival annually in September. There are two Reform Judaism
synagogues in Florence Beth Israel Congregation. There is also a small Hindu
Temple
