New Hampshire usually competes year over year with Vermont and Maine as the least-churched states in the union. Our weekly attendance rate is at approximately European levels. So it is interesting that even here, when I go to the Saturday food charity, or the meal for the homeless on Christmas Day people who are striking up a conversation with a stranger ask "So what church do you come from?"
We know our own, without even noticing. If I pointed it out these people would be embarrassed that they might have unintentionally insulted someone.
Apparently not to worry.
Probably the fraction of Christians among servers in a food pantry is higher than the general population. But yes, sometimes you know.
