I protest this calumny.  I grew up in Texas, and I was never pressured to
attend a Christian church.  I expect that the majority of Texas residents
seldom, if ever, set foot in a church.  What kind of pressure have you
received?

It's difficult for me to believe that attitudes toward religion in Canada
differ radically from those in the United States.
