Little if any of it.

I did, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee but I am not sure if that is
considered the Bible Belt. I ran into folks like that down there, but
not in fringe churches, but mostly KKK.

Actually a lot of northern states have higher numbers per capita of
KKK members than many southern states.

Could be, they are just more open about it down there. Asked a buddy of
mine in Ala where he would rather live, back in NJ, or in Ala, in
relation to prejudice. He said Alabama, "at least down here when a man
is a bigot, he will tell you when you walk in the door, so you don't
have to waste your time with him". "Up north, you don't know till it's
too late"...- Hide quoted text -

Believe it or not, where I lived in western NY, in the sticks, the
people there are FAR more bigoted than they are here in the south. I
think the reason is that there are so few minorities there that they
just don't know anything about them, and we all know that ignorance
can easily breed bigotry.
