Evangelicals in North Carolina are pissed because a public official doesn't believe in God.
You see, in NC, to hold any sort of public office... you're required by the state constitution to believe in God. Except, of course, that it violates the separation of church and state. The Supreme Court said so in 1961 when it said a similar law in Maryland was unconstitutional.
But hey... I'm only pointing this out because it's making North Carolina look more backward then South Carolina. Which is quite a feat.
