Attack of the Theocrats!
Living in the bible belt as a non- believer becomes immediatly a kind of stereotype, satanist ... On the other hand, in the second interview is mentioned someone who doesn´t take offense if someone prays because it simply means someone who cares.
Surely I can imagine how religion is a stereotype over there, I´ve heard once some scientist working in USA whose car had a break down in the bible belt zone and the first people that showed up to help her asked as a first question not her name or something but what religious believe she held. I enjoyed listening to Prof. Dawkins as well the interview given by lewis.breland as a non-believer living in the bible belt.
I myself think I would not be able to handle living in a place where people hold too much stereotypes, I would became sick.
Thanks for the link.
