Utah. We had prayer in school there and I sort of started a religious revolution. I am not proud of it.

Just about everyone in my HS was Mormon. We started every convocation with a prayer. I just blew it off. It's stupid. But I always worried about the nerdy little kid who was RLDS and the super smart nerdy kid who was the only Jewish kid. They were fine. They were like me. Blew it all off. So did the Catholics.

We got pressure but as soon as the Mormon kid zealots found out you weren't interested you became instantly invisible to them. Didn't matter. Didn't like them anyway.
