A couple from our church left for Portland to start a church. It is considered a very spiritually dark city.

No the article specifically says they are not “godless”. They are mostly not affiliated with a specific religious sect.

No need to do that ... there are plenty of dedicated CHRISTIANS in Portland. I know, as I was there for many years. There are good churches and dedicated Christians. They are quite able to go among their own neighbors!
