I do not like the fact he is touting inclusiveness, We were founded on Christian beliefs (like or not) the principles our law were based on is The Bible.
The "real" Obama is coming out and let the games begin. To bring up athiest in the same breath as Christians and Jews is a strong statement of the character or lack of in this man.....It shows a lack of character? How?
Attack his character for legitimate reasons. His constant lying, willingness to steal from hard workers to give it to the lazy, etc etc.
Nonbelievers are a growing segment of the population. Democrats already control most minority groups, we can't lose more.
