Back to people being stupid, I've recently heard someone speak about how whiel living in NoCal more than once he has come across peopel thinking his ID was fake becuase it was from Maine. There were unaware of the existence of Maine as a state. One guy even pronounced it "Ma-Ee-Nay". Back to NC, I've nver heard anyone confuse Raleigh, Durham, or Charlotte and I haven't met too many that know of any other specfic cities in NC that don't have some affiliation with them or NC.
I actually have. I have ran into people who believe Raleigh-Durham is one city like Winston-Salem.

I meant as far as those cities not being in NC. The Raleigh-Durham thing is actually one of my biggest pet peeves, and I have very few.

During colonial times, South Carolina was super religious and North Carolina was hardly religious at all. This is according to church attendance figures of the era.

Not sure what the source of this is as far as NC goes, but for SC, Charleston was known as a haven of religious tolerance with Baptist, Episcopalian, Methodist, Unitarian, French Huguenot, and Jewish congregations.
