...but I'm not.

My experience being involved with churches (so its anecdotal and not statistical), the more devout and "conservative", the more they are covering up for something.

Can't tell you how many times I've heard "I can't believe <insert name(s)> was involved with <insert scandal(s) or crime(s)>. He/She/They seemed like good Christians and people"

Me: That was your first clue something was wrong.
