> where nobody knows their neighbours, nobody attends church

In America, plenty of people know their neighbors and have their phone numbers for security purposes, and over a 1/3rd of Americans attend church. So, in the context of discussing an American company, these are very off-the-mark statements.

To the extent that this is a conversation centered around google and other big tech companies, do you think 1/3 of FAANG employees attend church?

As someone who has attended several churches in Silicon Valley over the last decade, I would put the percentage closer to 5%.
