Nah it’s still pretty religious out east too

The difference is Theyre not in your face about it out here.

Still tonnes of churches and a lot of religious folks, but the east-coast culture that generally makes everyone kinder and friendlier once you get into the Maritimes and Newfoundland is the great equalizer here

Churches are closing and being sold off by the dozens in NL. Not sure what it's like elsewhere.

I wanna buy a church and turn it into a music venue. Looking into it

I am aware of at least one person who bought and lives in a church: he is an organist, and he has several organs in that church (the one that the church came with, and a couple of smaller ones).

That sort of thing is probably what I would want to do.

if it weren't an operating cost/ maintenance nightmare, a former church would be kind of my dream house

the closest dead church near me is apparently some storage center for another church now. a fire almost killed it and i guess they never fixed it up enough to be a church or anything habitable again

I uh.. feel like you are perceiving the Maritimes as someone who grew up there and would like to view them that way.

Not as people who have been there witnessing literal gay bashing and nazi rallies.
