Bernie Sanders Is the Candidate of Nonbelievers
Bernie’s religion or lack of it has barely made a ripple or even occasioned any comment. Presidential religiosity has advantages.

Social scientist Seymour Martin Lipset wrote that American religiosity underlined its resistance to socialism. If he captures the Democratic nomination, Bernie Sanders will test how much either still matters or applies.
