npub1y9eed4cn6kkennhgv2kqfjm0uzh3rqgvpjpglm20u9wf4jp4wa7shtfqtl (npub1y9e…fqtl) npub1ccn4ec2s2dmhzu4cthwhy56hcsswk4z3j3kvhlhuvp96phm9zjrqj6czwu (npub1ccn…czwu) I don’t know which of the 50 States you are talking about, but I have never heard anyone here in Massachusetts say “God bless.” Seriously, not once in 60 years of living here. Okay, minus the four years I spent in Connecticut, where I also never heard it said. I also spent a year in England where I attended a state school that had mandatory prayers and religious songs at the start of every school day, and a year in a Gymnasium in Germany, where everyone was assumed to be Christian, we had a religion class, and we took school field trips to religious sites. Massachusetts schools did none of these things.

I am not saying that every one of the 50 States is like the New England states, but I think you don’t quite understand that each state here has a unique culture, just like the European countries. Sure, there are places like what you describe, just like there are similar places around the world.

Please don’t tar all of us with the same brush you might use to paint Texas or Florida.
