    You’re thinking of the Deep South. Baptists aren’t a big thing in OK, in fact I always thought they were viewed as slightly weird.

      Growing up there most families i knew were Baptist or Church of Christ, with a few methodists thrown in. Used to joke that Oklahoma would stay dry as long as Baptists could stumble to the polls.

      ETA- All of my friends went to Falls Creek camp. They invited me but i was never allowed to go because one friend told a story about hammering nails into a cross and crying. That’s where most people i knew had their first ‘romantic experiences’ - first kiss, etc.
