In one episode the employees of Dunder Mifflin are stating their religious affiliations.

Pam sheds some light on her moral code in a conversation with Jim in which she says, “I won’t live with someone I’m not engaged to.” In that these “Presbyterians” choose not to let their faith be reflected in the manner they live their lives, they embody the prevailing public stereotype of evangelicals: hypocrites.
