Colorado Springs is weird, though. We have no problems with radiation detectors on light poles "because the bad guys might try to smuggle in a nuke" but then complain about traffic speed cameras on those same poles "because it's the government trying to make money from the citizen patriots." One advantage is we have a city-owned municipal power system which keeps the commies out.
PS: I live in Cambridge, MA which is so much less "liberal" than its reputation, much like the cow college (Hereford) based here. Solar IS Civil Defense
Obviously we have the headquarters of a bunch of Christofascist organizations, and a lot of people have serious cases of religion, and there is a little church in every strip mall, but, surprisingly, by their own rating system the city is considered "unchurched."
The reason is the climate. Everybody is so focused on hiking and rafting and walking their dogs and blasting around in their SUVs and going to coffee shops that there is not a lot of energy left over for church. It is easy to simply avoid the whole thing.
It is nothing compared to the South, where the tacit assumption is that everybody is a Southern Baptist.
