in the bible belt and suicide belt regions of the US you get some certified wackjobs

Some of the most certifiable radicals I’ve had the dubious honor of meeting were in California and NY. The center of the county has it’s share, but for the most part it’s just background noise. You listen to church radio because it’s what’s on. You celebrate Christmas because the city puts up a big tree and throws some public parties.

People can be superstitious with or without a formal religious membership. And they can be Christian outside of the red states.
