I live in a more enlightened part of the Bible Belt (just north of Houston) But I know what you mean. I have a friend of mine who is a Christian who moved from a small redneck town in North Mississippi to a small redneck town in Central Mississippi. Even after 7 years she was still considered to be the foreigner and not fully accepted into the group. They can't handle different people there. Though Mississippi (and As I understand Arkansas as well) are worse than most places in the Bible belt, I imagine an atheist living wherever you live in the Bible Belt, you would have a lot of problems and it could seriously hurt your business.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
