I can only speak for the US but I've also found that I can't speak about the Bible with most Christians. Most of my experience has been with Catholics and various flavors of Evangelicals. It's very frustrating. I can read Ancient Greek and have a degree in Classics and that makes no difference. I've had people argue with me that the NT was written in Aramaic or Latin or that Jerome's translation is more authoritative than the earlier Greek texts. I was raised Christian and I can't discuss religion with anyone I grew up with regardless of how respectful I am. There are opend-minded Christians but they are very rare.
