I live in New York. There are definitely crazy religious people here, but not enough of them that they can strut their stuff in public and carry on with the crazy nonsense that you see in the South or Midwest.
Also, we have enough cultural and religious diversity that fundamentalists dominating school boards or town/city governments wouldn't fly. (We get machine politics and union domination instead)

You'll find the same proportion of crazy and cosmopolitan in a Georgia city that you would anywhere else.

Not even an arrest for public indecency.
