Oh irony...
I lived in NC for a total of 10 years. The Bible Belt.
So why is it that it isn't until I live in NY that I see an ad for McDonald's 25th Annual Gospelfest?
I think the Bible Belt is misplaced - this area is much more overtly religious than NC was.
More overtly racist, too, but that's another post.
Personally, I'm starting to believe that quite a bit of the stereotype applied to the South is simple projection of local attributes no one wants to own up to.
