2. Non Religious folks don't require specific religious pandering?

Voters with no religious affiliation don't really focus on the religious nonsense that gets badied about in election years. I'd argue that the 1/3 religiously unaffiliated Clinton voters are not paying a whole lot of attention to the noise.

Yet despite constantly hearing about the importance of white evangelical voters in an election cycle, Democratic politicians have been slow to embrace the growing number of nonreligious people who vote for them. Why?

Democratic politicians embraced the things I value a long time ago, so they already had me at "separation of Church and State." So there's that.

What a crock of shit designed to sow discord.
