Why do natural disasters always strike highly religious areas? The bible belt is devastated by tornadoes and hurricanes every year. Don't they wonder why us liberal godless heathens on the coasts aren't feeling some divine wrath, too?
non-religious: 11.92%
atheist: 2.35%
I downmodded because I'd rather this forum not be burdened with trite religion-bashing posts.
Frankly, a belief that natural disasters only strike highly religious areas is quite strange, and I see no evidence for it. As Goladus pointed out, San Francisco gets earthquakes; that was also the first thing I thought of. But is there any part of the planet that doesn't suffer from natural disasters? I don't think anybody could make the original assertion without realizing these problems, and my explanation shouldn't be needed. If I could, I would have downmodded it.
