Reply #28: Believe it or not - diversity does exist in the south [View All]

Not every southerner is an evangelical - not even every southern Republican is an evangelical. My dad is a religious liberal and yet he is a republican. I knew republicans in the Unitarian church and I knew a few Dems in the Baptist church. I live in Metro Atlanta, and parts of the Metro area are mostly conservative, while other parts are very progressive. One county in Georgia is trying to add stickers to science textbooks - One county out of the 159 Georgian counties. Yet, the posts here make it sound like every single resident of the 159 Georgia counties are demanding evolution be removed from schools - it just ain't so. In fact, Georgia's republican superintendent of schools tried to have evolution removed from the GA curriculum, but there was such a stink WITHIN the state of Georgia that it was very quickly added back into the new performance standards.
