Is that what he literally said? "In religious services"? I find it really hard to believe. It is more fitting of a blog post that has been adopted to the format of "The Jobs Tales". Gender-neutral, religion-agnostic, PG-13.

I have heard folks in the midwest say "they went to a religious service". I don't see how it is "Gender-neutral, religion-agnostic, PG-13".
