Obama is way too smart and educated to be anything but a skeptic when it comes to religion, especially given that he was raised in a secular household. It’s refreshing to finally have the prospect of a free-thinker in office. I wish atheist politicians had the guts to come out and speak more critically about religion, and more openly about their doubts.

We don’t know how he would react in a stressful situation, or even if he can withstand an onslaught from the right wing. His followers worship him like a preacher from a pentecostal meeting. His followers will probably be the first to drop him once the attack machine starts and the dirt starts flying.

Even under contant fire, Hillary fights back, also her democratic values are very sound.

I can’t believe the media will be kind once Obama gets the nomination, after all, it is not in their interest to elect democrats.

Obama isn’t any more for change than any other democrats, neither is he a Washington outsider.

I too would like an atheist as president, but cannot allow McCain to continue on the same path as we are now.

We still hardly know anything about him and already the right wing are calling him the Anti Christ.

If only todays politicians, especially democrats and left-wing ones, in the U.S. actually had REAL knowledge about Americas founding and founding fathers and their views{the prominent founders}… they’d realize..”oh, shit… all our pandering to the Abrahamic faiths and our constant joining with the right wing in talking about our faith in the Christian God- even if from a liberal political perspective… spits in the face of the beliefs,character, and INTENTIONS of the freethinking and deistic founding fathers… whose nature was much closer to that of todays Atheists and Agnostics and Modern Anti-theistic agno-deists… than to Revealed religionsts of anykind…including liberal christians and liberal thiests; shit… we’re pussywhipped,hypocritical, morons!”

Obama passes himself off as a friend to secualrists and non-belivers{rationalists, including deists,atheists, and agnostics}…but I wonder…is he just dooing so to gain their votes? Will he turn on them? Maybe not to promote fundamentalism but still semi-right wing evangelical so-called charities and movements, and of course liberal christians. I mean, he panders to the religious as much as any other{even more than Hillary from what I can tell…I mean, I searched in vain for “faith” crap on Hillaries site and found nothing, but Obamas is chalk full of faith based bullshit!}…yet only “briefly” mentions that “oh yeah…none belivers exist here too”- but does he really give a shit about them or any of the rationalist community{including modern anti-theist AGNO-Deists?}
I’m skeptical. I think Obamas just the same hypocrite as the rest and will eventually prove it.

Be contrarian… don’t vote for anyone, It’s time for rationalists and the faithless community to quit kissing ass…to stand up and be counted and DEMAND the EXACT same regards and respects and pandering that christians or the rleigions and theistic and faith-based of ANY kind get. Or nothing will change.
STAND UP, STAND UP FOR YOURSELVES AND BE COUNTED FELLOW FAITHLESS RATIONALISTS!

It doesn’t matter to me that Obama uses religious rhetoric, because his vision of Christianity is one that I believe reflects my core values. His social values are much more important to me than his position on the existence of God–I would much rather be led by a Christian like Obama than an atheist like Stalin.

I agree
