Melas, and you have completely misunderstood my point, by looking to be insulted by the fact you are atheist.
Democrats desire a "secular" read godless social democracy, that's their end goal, pure and simple. And those people need completely shut out, they do not represent the main stream of america. Those that get it in the democratic party, the serious ones, Bush should reach out to, but those that wish to turn the US into Belgium should be shunned and ignored as the irrellevant toads that they are.
Well, we'll never see eye to eye on this one. I respect your religious leanings, and would defend them to the death, but I'd be lying if I said it would break my heart of more people saw the light and gave up on religion.
