Where I live almost everyone assumes you are a right wing Christian. They don't even take into consideration that you're not and if they figure out you aren't they stop talking to you in most cases. I've never had anyone straight up call me an idiot but I've had good friends freeze up when they found out and then start avoiding me afterwards. You get looked at like a lizard in human skin.
To add to this, I've heard the talk that gets passed around before they found out that I wasnt. If you are a woman they will straught up call you a witch
I’m a passing trans guy, and where I live is like this.
It’s just fucked walking around and know that if they knew, I would essentially lose all humanity to them. It happened with my divorce lawyer, it happens with doctors. I’m like an alien hiding in the place I was born.
That's so messed up. As a southerner: sorry. I would not, and I have a lot of family that wouldn't either, though TBH they left Mississippi...
You're not a southerner, quit lying. You're from the northern hemisphere. Poser.
I'm from the south-north-north-eastern USA!
Hey we out here even in WV. Nobody needs to feel alone.
Christianity (and all religions imo) are a fucking stain on humanity, they bring so much more harm than good upon us.
...christians are so overwhelmingly evil that i constantly have to stop and remind myself that some tiny minority of all the crosses and flags i see brandished about may actually be fostered in good faith, lest i judge too soon...

...You think Appalachia isn't right-wing christian?
It's called Pennsyltucky for a reason.
That is so strange. Where i live if someone under the age of 70 tells you that they are actual christian, the reaction is usually: "wait what? Really now?
You live in a more honest place. It really is like this outside cities in large parts of USA.
