It is surprised me at first. Look at all the Catholic counties! Then I realized that just because a county’s predominant religion is Catholic, doesn’t meant that Catholics outnumber Protestants in that county.

With those numbers, depending on how loose you want to be with your terms, Protestants make up 36-72% of the county vs 10% Catholics, but the county will still be blue.
It means Catholics are the largest religious denomination in that county. Such a county could theoretically be 10% Catholic, 9% Mormon, 9% Baptist, 9% Presbyterian, 9% Jewish, 9% Episcopalian, 9% Muslim, 9% Christian Science, 9% Scientologist, 9% Methodist, 9% Seventh Day Adventist.

From the map, it appears to be Loving County, Texas.
National Geographic article
Sparsely populated, with ~70 residents. Perhaps there are no churches, and therefore nobody practices their religion in the formal sense. More likely, they count by the size of congregations.
