I think we're a lot more numerous than we think - I find people "come out" more when they find out what side of things you're on. Of course, we do all live in the "Bible Belt".

I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…
