So Sam Harris lives among the Amish?
I live in the Bible belt and all my neighbors don't attend church weekly.

Who knows? Who cares? And there's no way you could know all your neighbors don't attend church weekly.

It would be easy to see a mass exodus from the neighborhood every Sunday. Not to mention regularly seeing people out in the neighborhood during church hours.
Maybe you should get out more. And maybe just admit when you've been duped by faulty statistics.

Right..like you're on your porch every Sunday morning at 9:00 AM tracking who leaves and who doesn't. Just admit you're wrong and quit lying to cover your ass.

What don't you understand about " all your neighbors don't attend church weekly."
That means it only takes one who doesn't attend church weekly, although it's obviously more than that here.
Maybe in your neighborhood you can't see when cars are moved or see people out working in their yards. I live in a suburban neighborhood where many people park in the driveways or on the street and have front yards to tend.
