Atheists

Bernie’s religion or lack of it has barely made a ripple or even occasioned any comment. Presidential religiosity has advantages. Bill Clinton used it to signal to otherwise politically hostile parts of the county that he understood their values. It fortified George W. Bush under incredible pressure during the War on Terror. Barack Obama tapped the rhetorical power of church oratory. The Sanders phenomenon is another indication of the weakening of American exceptionalism. 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.

"I applaud the Navy for upholding a traditional definition of the chaplaincy, which has been repeatedly confirmed by Congress and the DOD. The installment of an atheist chaplain would inevitably open the door to a host of chaplains representing many other philosophical worldviews," said principled limited government constitutional conservative Rep.

The court also rejected arguments the traditional Christian cross was an impermissible mingling of church and state. SIGN OUR PETITION DEFENDING THE 9/11 CROSS NOW!

The “9/11 Cross” should remain, as should the other crosses that memorialize our war dead. And too bad if it offends atheists.

The Conservative Political Action Conference reversed its invitation to allow American Atheists to have a booth at this year's event. But the original invitation prompted conservative Brent Bozell to pull out of the event, charging that CPAC is "destroying the conservative movement."
