Question for liberal atheists. What do you think of the two candidates for the democrats talking about faith?

Religious politician - oxymoron or just moron.

I think we have all (the entire country) left separation of church and state in the dim past and we need to get back to it. The democratic candidates have their own perogative, but I wish there was a candidate that stood up for the constitution on this issue.

The only way you can even be a cadidate is if you profess a belief in some type of deity and go to a church. You will be more popular if you are Christian.

Just like in many states, you can't hold a political position unless you are a theist, it is illegal to hold office and be an atheist.

All candidates talk about faith. I think Obama is probably deist or atheist in truth, but it would be political suicide to admit it.

Its annoying that the current political climate requires such pandering, but it's small potatoes compared to issues like energy, balancing the budget, foreign policy, the economy, etc.

I think in American politics, politicians have to emphasize their religious beliefs. I'm against it. It annoys me. It reminds me that Americans may not vote for an atheist because they were an atheist. All in all though, I still like the liberals a lot better than the conservatives.

Go Obama!

Which two? It's been years since a candidate didn't babble about his/her faith. It would be quite refreshing if candidates for any public office stopped yammering about their faith and asked people to vote for them based on, oh, I don't know, their POLICIES? Their political beliefs?

I could care less what a persons religion affiliation is. As long as when they are in office they know to separate church and state.

I think it's ridiculous that politics puts so much emphasis on peoples religion. Politics has nothing to do with your personal faith.

I think they're political candidates. I don't buy much into anything they say.

obama belongs to a racist church and hilary is a closet atheist

I really don't care about their faith. I care much more about their policies.
