Yeah... I definitely think I've become thinner-skinned since the move (from Boston to Scranton). It just wasn't a real issue there. I don't think that atheists were really more common there (although maybe) but there was definitely a broader sense of inclusion in general. I was no less passionate about my beliefs but at the same time I didn't feel such a need to pronounce them. For example public schools here get out 1/2 early every Tuesday. This was originally because the diocese had religion classes on Tuesdays. Although now there's no "official" reason (wink, wink). Although it was (so far) a one-time deal my son came home crying once because the other kids wouldn't stop telling him that he was going to Hell. It's not like we've got villagers with pick-forks here or anything but there's definitely an undercurrent. For the most part, the far larger part, I actually really like it here: my kids are generally happy, have lots more room and it's rare (but poignant) when religion causes any real concern... but there's definitely a different vibe.
