My "most" might make for a bare 51% in some states, yeah. I think I could pursue it with some by making them admit that feelings can at least conceivably be wrong, but some sweat and waterboarding might be involved.
But even down here it's mostly a cultural echo chamber that does the trick. There's certain phrases repeated and people put those in place of thoughts. When the unbelief tipping point finally comes here it will be pretty fast - the broader culture is a reaction formation to secularism, but individuals here often don't even know what an atheist is. My friend's Texan mother in law had to look it up. And was then appalled.
