I’m in rural NC so there a lot of Christians here too lol. I just didn’t feel like even the “devout” ones actually have the faith that they say they do. They have no thinking and instead are led entirely by materialist desires.
There’s a few exceptions, but if you were to put a modern white protestant in front of a 16th century peasant they’d think they were the devil. There’s a large immigrant population here that has a much more traditionally religious way of thinking, but the WASPs are functionally atheists.
