Is that really true? I was in the US recently for the first time,
Scottsdale Arizona and NYC, and other than Christmas decorations I
can't recall seeing much evidence of religion at all. This is perhaps
a superficial impression but I was a bit surprised nevertheless.
Scottsdale is pretty cosmopolitan - it's where airline pilots go to retire. NYC of course
is as secular, diverse, and worldly as any place in the world. Try visiting small towns
in Kentucky, South Carolina, Mississippi, Oklahoma,... It's not called "the bible belt"
for nothing.
