Yeah, I was quite sheltered when it came to other beliefs. Sometimes we asked what christmas trees had to do with Jesus' birth, and what rabbits and eggs had to do with his resurrection, but you better believe no one told us it was a holdover from pagan beliefs due to christians trying to convert by integration. Definitely not that there were older stories of people who were born of virgins and rose from the dead three days after being killed.
Over here we have little churches on a dozen corners around town. It's a big part of the community.
Well where I am from lots of churches are being closed left right and centre.
