As a native of New Jersey, let me first ask if you are confusing ‘rudeness’ with ‘abruptness.’ I will admit that with our more hectic pace of life, we can be abrupt. But perception is everything. I tend to see Southerners as ‘rude’ because they do not allow for differences in people (religious, sexual orientation, etc.). If you were to live in New Jersey or anywhere in the metro area, I think you would find some of us very pleasant, and some very rude – just like anywhere else in the country.

I think a number of reasons exist. First, youth have a tendancy to rebel, so if parents do push religion, certain youth might automatically do the opposite. Second, I think hypocrisy is not limited to Jim Bakker – maybe self-labeled religious people do not act as Jesus did; they are judgmental, narrow-minded, bigoted, greedy, etc. Given that, why would anyone want to be ‘religious’? But lastly, I find that many young people are or are becoming religious, experimenting with their feelings and beliefs. Just because someone might not see religion or the Creator as you do does not mean they are not religious.
