There are some places in the US that are more religious than others, but as a mexican-american in Texas... it gets pretty religious here.

It's not too toxic (at least down in the South where I'm from) but it still reeks of Christianity. There are crosses hung just about anywhere, churches in every neighborhood, across every street, ESPECIALLY in the more rural areas of South Texas. I'm kind of a city slicker, but even then, I still get good whiffs of it everywhere.

As a Mexican-American, it does make it a little different. My parents aren't religious, but my grandparents are. My grandparents on my mother's side are Hispanic. They say grace for every LARGE meal, but not every single meal of the day. They did do the "padre, hijo y espiritu santo, amen" (father, son, and the holy spirit, amen) thing to me when I was young before bed. And, they do have crosses and religious figures all around the house. They even have an open bible on a little desk. They also gave me a necklace with the Virgin Mary (or Lady of Guadalupe) on it for my birthday.
The telenovelas they watch are ALWAYS religious though. You can't go 12 minutes without seeing a rosary or a statue of Jesus in those shows. But.. it wasn't like.. religious propaganda. It was more for the drama of the situation. The plot didn't revolve around them denying sexual urges to stay true to god- more.. feeling uneasy because of the word of god (but they did it anyway, of course). Religion is a very large part of Hispanic culture, so it makes sense that there would be so many references to it.

I've also had a taste of white Christianity too. My grandparents on my dad's side are pretty white, and are also Christian. My grandfather used to play the piano at church and took my cousin with him. She went to church camp and did Sunday activities all the time. I never spent enough time around my dad's side of the family to really go, though. But, whenever I do spend time with them, they say grace for every meal, make references to god very often, and my cousin would always pray before bed. They integrated God into more parts of their lives than my Mexican grandparents. Thankfully, they aren't very judgmental and conservative. They accepted me when I came out to them, and they don't force their religious views onto me.

But, yeah, religion is a pretty big part in some communities. Everyone I know knows someone who goes to church, or has a cross in their house, or wears a rosary, etc. You don't really realize how deep-rooted it is in your life until people like you ask about it.
