More science than religion here at DU. But Republicans have made Christianity their "brand" to the exclusions of all other faiths---including atheists. And that's why we call them bigots, close-minded, and morons.

If Democrats want to make Atheism their "brand", then democrats will suffer the same rejection by reasonable people as Republicans have with their religious cheerleading for their favorite religious faith.

I just want religion OUT of my political party and why I caucus and support democrats. I want *all* religions out, and that includes Atheism and atheistic sympathizers. The thread is hilarious, but think about it. Do we want to become just like Republicans and cheer a specific brand of religious faith?
