But, sadly, it is true that anyone hoping to run for president in the US had best be a declared Christian. There are far too many folks who want to know THAT before they even ask what you think about taxes or war or global warming.

I would REALLY like to see an election where one candidate was a stupid, hate-mongering, bribe-taking bigot...who just happened to be 'officially' religious, and a calm, sensible, decent, respected fellow who revealed that he was NON-religious.
