But being in the Bible belt, I very rarely tell strangers.

Me and the UPS guy were really getting friendly and I liked the guy. But then I made the mistake of telling him I was an atheist. He's gotten very distant. Even the Jehovah Witnesses stop coming round when I told them there was no evidence for a god. That's one way of of getting rid of them.
