Intriguing story.
My wife and I love the East Coast, especially New England. But, aside from cost of living with housing/taxes/liberals, it would be so weird to move to a place where the majority aren’t Christian, at least socially.
Here in Texas, a key point of conversation is what church you go to etc. Up there, I would get punched for asking that.
Powers is no doubt correct that where she is, it is a harder road to be a believer.
Bergen County, NJ; affluent, plenty of professing Christians. Of course, as with everywhere, doctrine varies greatly. And the public schools preach the usual abominations.
