Moving to Kentucky from New York was like entering a different country, in that sense. New Yorkers (at least the ones in the Metro area) are for the most part only vaguely religious. And there is a wider variety of Christian churches and non-Christian religions there, so people are a little more sensitive about stepping on others’ toes when it comes to matters of faith. Our high school, for example, never broadcast prayers over the intercom. The only time we heard prayers was at graduation (usually by a rabbi, priest or minister). I figured that was normal, that every high school did it. Boy, was I surprised!
