I'm in Alabama, which isn't the buckle of the bible belt, but is still one of the notches. I was fortunate enough to have parents who were not very religious, and even the religious people in my community are moderate/liberal christians. They're much easier to deal with than the kind of people on FSTDT. in fact, in my most devout faith if I had heard or read some of these comments I still would have thought them utterly insane.
At one point I was going to four church events in a week, and wondering if there was anything going on the other days, but there are extremists out there that say things I wouldn't expect people to think in the nineties in a first world country. That's for backwards people that belong in a rubber room.
Most people around me don't bring up religion much. There's one sunday school teacher who knows because I used to go to the same church, and he definitely wants me to come back, but he's not screaming immorality and fire and brimstone if I don't get in line.
