Not once did I reveal I was an atheist, while in the South. It just didn't feel "safe".
Although it was a very decent couple of fellows, one wearing a "Christian Motorcycle Association" T-shirt who showed me where a campsite was! As we went down some really obscure lanes, I thought to myself "if they aren't who they say they are, I'm screwed!"
Ah well, live, learn and camp (it up). So to speak... :-)

Only if they're from the Reformed church, lightly sauced. Or just sauced, period.
