I've lived all my life within the DC beltway (not always litterally but right
there) DC has one of the largest US population areas of Jews (which I am)
There are delis and bagel stores, there are Day schools, synagogues, The Jewish
Community Center, Jewish names on buildings, Jewish bookstores, and whatever
you may need. I grew up with an assumption that everyone was Jewish! LOL
This winter I moved to small town, PA.
Nobody is Jewish. Nobody is Buddhist. Nobody is Pagan. Everyone is Mennonite.
Now I get the speechless response.
Makes me speechless.

I grew up in little ol' Columbia, SC. I thought until VERY recently that the
majority of folks here (in SC) were episcopalian---with a few presbyterians
and methodists thrown in. To my surprise, it's mostly baptist. I really only
knew a handful of baptists growing up. One jewish boy. One catholic girl. Guess
it just depends on the circles you travel in!

I grew up in Roundup, Montana, population 2,800. I grew up Catholic, the
Episcopalian church was across the street frm the Catholic church and
kitty-corner there was another church, but I didn't know the name. There
were and are lots of Catholics in Roundup.

My cousins were not catholic, the were Methodists and belonged to the
Rainbow Girls. Back in the early 60's Catholic girls weren't allowed to be
in the Rainbow Girls. It had something to do with beliefs in interpretations
of scripture, I think.

In school there was one boy in our class that never said the pledge of
allegience to the flag, he was a Jehovah Witness. And even though I didn't
know this as a young girl, there was one Jewish family in town.

Religious differences onlly showed up at family dinners during christmas,
etc...
