I'll back GP up. I'm in GA but not in ATL. At my current employer, it's acceptable/funny to post the 95 thesis on other employee's doors/desks if they are a known catholic. At my previous employee, printing/posting jack trick's cartoons was considered acceptable.

It's an exaggeration on my part. I'd far rather be a Catholic in the south than non-white.

I am told (by my Catholic friends who live[d] in Alabama) that Alabama is considered a missionary region for Catholics. The local Books-a-millions have any Catholic literature in -- I am not making this up -- "World Religion" (not enough space in the third of the store devoted to Christian books.

I remember how shocked one of catholic friends was when she found books on Catholicism in the "World Religion" section instead of the "Christianity" section. At first I didn't believe it so I went to the Books-a-million in Tuscaloosa and checked it myself. She was not joking.

I fail to comprehend how they've operated for 25 years without being arrested or run out of town. Or maybe your statements are just groundless.

This statement is completely ridiculous. Go to Midtown Atlanta on Pride Weekend and get back to me on that opinion, if you ever escape from the traffic jam.

Atlanta is an island of civilization compared to most of the south (including decent sized cities like birmingham which are not). Don't excuse GA by citing Atlanta.
