I've had some of them literally visibly get angry with me because I poked a hole in their fantasy that east of Germany is conservative wonderland. There are many good things about Eastern Europe as well, but none of those good things would appeal to people like them, so I don't mean to make it sound like I'm complaining about where I'm from.
They are everywhere in Orthodox churches in the US.
