I don't think it's right to make a case of someone's religion in this particular instance because it is neither a religious ceremony nor a religious speech. It is a political issue. Separation of Church and State comes into play here, regardless of how the right and right wing evangelicals behave, I do not think we can condone it or permit it to pass without condemnation.

I'm one of those people that doesn't really fit in anywhere as far as religion and faith go. I don't know what I believe, other than in personal principles and the constitution of the United States. As for God? I haven't got a clue. I don't know what category that would put me in.
