I only refused to do it once because at the time I was in high school it wouldn’t have been smart to stand out. I remember it really well because it happened in the auditorium for some reason. I was sitting down because I felt woozy but one of the guys standing next to me threatened me. Something along the lines of cutting my traitorous dick off and throwing me in a ditch to die if I didn’t stand up for it.
I don’t even think we had that many religious people. It was the biggest city in a very rural red state but I can’t think of much else for why the reaction was that bad. We had an air force base nearby but I mostly chalked up the experience to bad luck and sitting next to the wrong person.
