Welcome. I lived in the Tampa Bay area for 2 years, and was surrounded by Southern Baptists, who always liked to stop me on the street and confront me about religion. As for the rest of the south, dunno. Went through AL, MS and LA on I-10 moving to Arizona. Only stopped for gas in AL, but it looked bleak.
