Bernie once referred to a "belief in God" that requires him to follow the Golden Rule -- a quote his supporters seem to trot out whenever someone suggests he's an atheist or agnostic.

“Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime and pure (and) which insures to the good eternal happiness, are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments.”

— Charles Carroll, signer of the Declaration of Independence

That should be our national anthem.

I'm sick and tired of Godless Libtards who think Atheism is the state religion to which all others must bend. Except, of course, Muslims.

[smoothsailing]

Sick and tired of the New York Times.

Mr. Sanders replied in a fog of words at odds with his usual blunt style: “I am who I am...”.

Sorry Bernie, that line’s already taken. But it does underscore an extremely high level of intellectual arrogance for someone of Jewish descent to appropriate it for himself.

According to her 11% of the population do not belong to a religious group. Probably a smaller percentage is actually offended by the words “God Bless America”.

I own the domain name GodBlessAmerica.us and am proud to own it! I get offers from people wanting to buy it ALL the time, no offers high enough for me to sell it though because I really want to develop it!

Although the phrase was used before Reagan was the one who really ushered in the phrase using it as a sign off after speeches in the white house.

Here ya go NYT: Sing the Russian national anthem every day at work and print “God Bless Vladimir Putin” on your front page every day to make you feel better. I know Mayor Bill de Blasio would probably give you an award.

[VanDeKoik]

I only dont like when people don’t put “may” in front of it.

But that’s just me.

Like my brother, Barack Hussein,inshalla, I'm tired of all this, God Bless America stuff.

"The presumption is that candidates have everything to gain and nothing to lose by continuing their obsequious attitude toward orthodox religion and ignoring the growing population of those who make up a more secular America."

That presumption died with Obama, and it died in the news and entertainment industries years ago. And it seems to have died in corporate America - have you noticed how many corporations have jumped on the gay marriage bandwagon? Christians seem to be the one group in society whose beliefs can safely be ignored, or even mocked.

THE population of nonreligious Americans -- including atheists, agnostics and those who call themselves "nothing in particular"

The secular humanist, postmodernist, and marxist libtards are able to have a subjectivistic, relativistic, pragmatist, morally neutral morality, which permits them to have a permissive morality, pluralistic morality,and experimental and alternative lifestyles where anything goes.

[ex-snook]

People should learn that God Bless America is a prayer not the national anthem.

[Teacher317]

Hey, 89 percenters, shut up and let the 11 percenters shove their views on everyone instead!

[Scutter]

Screw you, New York Times. I am so sick of these anti-religion nut jobs. No one is forcing them to sing God Bless America.

[DaveyB]

NY Values!

I bet this ugly, old cow's husband is sick and tired of waking up to this every morning.

Despite the extraordinary swiftness and magnitude of this shift, our political campaigns are still conducted as if all potential voters were among the faithful.

That's probably because most non-religious types aren't automatically offended by the idea of religion - most of their friends and family are religious, they wouldn't dream of trying to trample on the faith of those who are religious, and the religious faith of candidates probably isn't what drives their voting decisions.

It's the devoutly atheist types, who've turned atheism into it's own religion, who view everything through that prism.

[mulligan]

No, and one day Susan you will find out you took the wrong fork in the road.

[Organic Panic]

I’m sick and tired of an athiest disgusting homosexual agenda being forced in everyone’s face day in and day out. Where’s my binkie NYT?

[Organic Panic]

Bernie followers and progressives in general are extremely religious. They worship government. The worship the global warming. Abortion is their sacrament to the god of government. Recycling is their confession of sin. Their imps and demons are Christian conservatives
