I had people assuming that because I’m white and speak English, that I was religious
People would cordially invite me to their churches, like it’s a social event
Religion is everywhere there
It’s bizarre to me, but most yanks are indoctrinated from birth into all sorts of stupid shit

Uh, what? Try as I might, I cannot make sense of this statement. The implication being: other races or cultures are not religious? Precisely the opposite of what’s closer to truth.
They assumed that I was a part of their particular cult
I’m American. People who assume my religion are weirdos and I rarely interact with someone like that. I’m pretty sure your assertion about it being related to your race is just a random ass assumption.
Depends what part of the country of they were in.
In the north east, there aren’t many mega churches, and the small old churches are often pretty empty or have closed. But down in the Bible Belt, Texas lower Midwest, it’s fucking different and very prominent and very culty.
On the coasts it looks more like granola churches for networking and much more humanist/unitarian. There are still Lutheran, Catholic and Baptist churches around, but not like the south.
