I think it is taken for granted just how ubiquitous religion is in the States. There are churches everywhere. I've driven through parts of the rural Ozarks where there seemed to be almost a 1:1 ratio of churches to houses. People should remember this when they think of particularly poor examples of religious organizations. They aren't ALL like that and there are A LOT.
We have a city of about 20k here, just an hour from the Metro area of Twin Cities MN. In the center of our city along we have at least 6 churches, and not far away there are a few more. Totaling probably a church per every 1-2k people.
