When members of the small Pennsylvania chapter of Secular Democrats of America log on for their monthly meetings, they’re not there for a virtual happy hour.
“We don’t sit around at our meetings patting ourselves on the back for not believing in God together,” said David Brown, a founder from the Philadelphia suburb of Ardmore.
The group, mostly consisting of atheists and agnostics, mobilizes to knock on doors and make phone calls on behalf of Democratic candidates “who are pro-science, pro-democracy, whether or not they are actually self-identified secular people,” he said. “We are trying to keep church and state separate. That encompasses LGBTQIA+, COVID science, bodily autonomy and reproductive rights.”
Brown describes his group as “small but mighty,” yet they’re riding a big wave.
Voters with no religious affiliation supported Democratic candidates and abortion rights by staggering percentages in the 2022 midterm elections.
The unaffiliated — often nicknamed the “nones” — voted for Democratic House candidates nationwide over Republicans by more than a 2-1 margin (65% to 31%), according to VoteCast. That echoes the 2020 president election, when Democrat Joe Biden took 72% of voters with no religious affiliation, while Republican Donald Trump took 25%, according to VoteCast.
Atheists and agnostics form only a subset of nones and are less numerous than evangelicals. But they are more likely than evangelicals to make a campaign donation, attend a political meeting or join a protest, Burge said, citing the Harvard-affiliated Cooperative Election Study.

They can kick God out of their own sorry lives but they’re not kicking Him out of ours. Let their DemoRat gods they worship and serve reward them accordingly.
Pro Science and Pro LGBTQIA+ is an oxymoron

It might also be wise to consider that people who do not believe in a Creator likewise do not believe we have been have endowed with “certain inalienable rights” by the same.
Living proof the not only sperm cell counts have decreased in the last 30 years so has brain cells.
Nothing good ever happens under democrat leadership it’s why they love misery.

The Republicans need to frame the issue better. Each state gets to decide if they want to have abortion. It is legal in New York and California. In Florida, it is legal up to 20 weeks, I believe.
It's interesting to observe that Trump was the most socially liberal president since Nixon and no two men were more hated by the Left.
It's interesting to observe that Trump was the most socially liberal REPUBLICAN president.

Elections are meaningless. We gave them one more shot after 2020. Play the game if you want. I live in Arizona. Three straight steals is enough.
Sometimes its a command from God . . . like in Joshua
The Gen Z voters who delivered wins for the dems just rolled out the gate Nov. 8 and will grow in large numbers going forward. And all these brats care about are abortion, homo “rights,” “global warming” and whatever free crap they can wring out of the taxpayers. They don’t give two shits about the border disaster, inflation, rampant crime or the direction of the country. They are the most socialism-embracing, religious faith-rejecting generation ever.
