There was surprisingly little of that maybe because we lived in NY where there were a lot of jews, catholics, protestants and the occasional muslim. Too many superstitions start to cancel each other out. After a while all the different god shit starts to look and smell like one big turd.
It's testimonials like this that make me wish I didn't live in Texas. Then again, Texas needs people like me
