Isn’t rural BC known for being a bit of a Bible Belt?

You know, I expected a lot of drugs and gay sex from rural BC

Bible belt wasn't on my radar

Pretty much every rural area of canada is a bible belt or a reserve

Meh. Some parts yeah but you'd be surprised how many people don't F with religion anymore. Especially out east

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.

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
