    “It’s inappropriate.”

    "To pray?”

    “There’s an appropriate time.”

    “It is the appropriate time.”

    “No, you have to listen to your authorities, which is your pastor.”

    Jesus Christ.

      Authorities?

      A pastor isn’t much of an authority, is he? I’m from the UK, so the religious are seen more as kooks.

          I suppose my meaning is the “strongly religious” - as in the ones who include it as part of their identity - are seen as kooks.

          The census may list them as Christian, but they’re not attending church or anything.
