There's a huge amount of religious tolerance in this area. There is a synagogue and a catholic church who are side by side somewhere in the area, and they're always in the paper for something truly generous one has done for the other. My minister had something to do (forgive me for not remembering the particulars) in the bris of a conservative rabbi's son. Ecumenicalism (is that a word) is everywhere.
Several churches are sharing quarters right now with congregations of completely different religions or denominations.
It doesn't have to be an adversarial thing.
