I am a religious guy (Catholic, though a skeptical one), but I keep it to myself. I get uncomfortable with Christians that seem to want to exclude non-Christians or non-believers just because they are such. I went through a time when I was an atheist but I never gave up the ideas of Republicanism, meaning we have rights that transcend gov’t. The Founders said “Creator”, not “Christian God”. You could believe you were created by Gaia or whatever and still know that your Fundamental Rights exist.

Heretic talk! There hasn't been a Republican Purity Oath in the past, but seems like we might be headed toward one.

I wonder if Christ would've been allowed to be a Republican what with his tolerance, and even love for sinners and saints alike.

"The Founders said “Creator”, not “Christian God”."

Pardon . . . your ignorance is showing.
