Yep. Even where I work, I work with a French woman, a Puerto Rician, a woman married to an Italian guy, and blacks in my kitchen. But all of them are religious to some degree and all of them get to talk to each other about religion, the kitchen has gospel music on the radio, but damned if I talk about my atheism or wear a hat or shirt with the word on it.
Then I get shit from my fellow atheists, obviously from places where no on bats an eye pretending the entire world is like the liberal paradise they live in when I bitch about religion. The irony is that my co workers think I am the bigot and they are the tolerant ones.
NC is not much better than TN.
