And especially in the South. I find it really creepy.
I’m a New Yorker raised by lukewarm Presbyterians. I worked in Wyoming and Kentucky after college. So, I know just what you mean. The first time someone asked me, “Are you a Christian?” I knew I was in Jesus-land. Their tone of voice implied that I would not be trustworthy if I weren’t a Christian. Under the circumstances, I felt it more advantageous to say yes, even though I am quite sure my definition of Christian differed from theirs.
