"..." try getting on in US politics without pretending to believe in god...


Pretty much true.... sadly.(well, above local, anyway) Dwight Eisenhower was a major example. He 'may' have had some sort of faith- or not- but when he was nominated, he had to quickly go looking for a non-controversial church, and he & Mamie 'attended' semi-regularly.

I'd love it if the media would refrain from even mentioning a candidate's religious leanings.
