Do you live in Tennessee? I seem to remember hearing that they just made the Bible the state book of TN. My sister just moved to TN last year and wants me to move there too---fat chance. I am in an area that is Republican enough but there are Democrats here. No atheists that I can find, but you can't have everything. (You can't have anything in TN.)
