Like WA State (and most of the west coast), born-again believers must be very strong in their faith....because we’re challenged and swim in a pagan soup all the time. It’s not like living in the south, where there are more people “playing church” because everyone there goes to church out of tradition or societal pressure.
Believe it or not, it was true in the northeast up through the GI generation as well. Once they all but died completely off, many folks stopped playing church and simply stopped going.
Many evangelical “megachurches” in Blue States act like McCain. They diss James Dobson as being polarizing and talk of reaching across the aisle with seculars to help the poor and combat global warming.
