Re: Not being christian in the south

I lived in South Carolina for college.

I'd just keep my head down during prayer and not say anything. My grandmother lived in the middle of nowhere Virginia and even though she's Catholic, she attended the local Methodist church because it was a social thing.

One way is simply deflect and say she hasn't found a church yet and is getting acclimated to the area first. Most people are pretty polite as long as you get too preachy to them either, just accept that things are the way they are. I was always weirded out that they prayed before every football game but it just meant a moment of silence from me out of respect.

Good luck to your mom with the job.

Interesting. South Carolina is where she's moving actually. I'll tell her about the praying before football.
"Still getting acclimated" is probably a good way to navigate casual relationships with people before she knows her way around. Thanks for the good wishes!

I have a friend who attends church regularly with her grandparents in Sumter, SC. Then she moved to Anderson, SC and just stopped going to church there because she never found one she liked.

Your mom may find joining a church is a good way to meet people. I don't know where she'll be in South Carolina, but the bigger cities are pretty diverse but when you're further out, it's just a thing to do.

I was in Columbia, SC and in four years, I think only one random person ever asked which church I was a part of and it was only to find out if I'd be at some of their other social events for college students.
