from what I gathered they were all the same as me - not the slightest bit interested in religion
Maybe,but,a lot,like me,would never talk about things in person.
There is far more a tradition of keeping your religious views to yourself here,probably because of the wide variaty of Christian denominations as well as plain old reserved embarrassment :)
The ones that do open up tend to be born again types,evangelists,very little actual religious learning,lots of blind faith and illogical ignorance.
