But in what way is being religious considered ‘weird’ in the US?
Actually, it depends on which religion and where you are. Any new religion (or new variant on a religion, and that happens a lot) is going to be considered weird.
Also, a person’s amount of religiousness can easily be considered weird.
Hare Krishna? Shakers? Mormons? Hasidic Jews? America mostly tolerated these religions, but the neighbors still considered them weird.
