Good Country People

In O'Connor's works as a whole thus far I am seeing her "false" labeling as more or less a love hate relationship with the South. Like with Helga, or the old woman in AGMIHTF, there is a disconnect between justification and virtue, and a misunderstanding between the characters identity and there actions.
Much like the boy who is a "Christian" or the fact that she doesn't "believe" in God, and yet O'Connor gives them different defining traits as such.
