I don't think I ever knew the religion of any of my schoolmates. My best friend at one point in elementary school was surnamed Gottleib; I knew that there were differences in our households, but I never attributed them to religion. I knew that there was something called a Jew, but it never occurred to me that he was one, or was in any way different. This I think is the way it should be, though it may simply be because religion has never played much of a part in my consciousness.

I suspect that geography has a lot to do with it; this was in the outer ring of NY suburbia, and the area was fairly diverse in a religious sense. If you live in a place with one church, and you see all of your classmates there but one, I imagine it would be very different.
