this is true. I'm from conservative Eastern New Mexico.. I have known several old cowboy type guys who are some of the most atheist people I know. But they're very conservative. Likewise, some of my best friends are out in the country, are cowboys, but are also liberal and atheist. Stereotypes just don't apply to anything, really.
As far as most atheist cities, I've always felt Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and DC were pretty populated by atheists.
Damn dog. You get internet out there?
Ha, just kidding....
Isn't Houston the home to all those churches including Lakewood which is held in a stadium!
I have heard though that alot of mosques are setting up in Houston also.
Yeah Houston has Lakewood, but Los Angeles has the largest mega church in the nation.

Which I'm not saying is all a bad thing. Just don't want to mislead people about Austin, because there seem to be many misconceptions these days... I would never categorize it in with San Francisco, Seattle etc... that's just not right.
No, although Houston is a very Catholic city it is also home to many religions from Buddhist to Hindu to Islam to you name it.
Yes, the majority of Houston residents are Christian...there are small percentages that identify as Buddhist, Hindu, or Muslim but most identify as Christian. The largest percentage is Evangelical Protestant, with Catholic coming in second.
