22. " My question still wants an answer: Are Democrats who are people of faith welcome on DU?"

As far as I'm concerned they are.

As are Muslims, Buddhists, Hindi, and anyone with any other supernatural belief whatsoever, as long as they are Democrats.

There aren't that many atheists in the country anyway - or the world for that matter and we'd never win an election without believers. In fact, the right to believe almost anything no matter how ridiculous and, (in most cases), act on those beliefs as long as it's done in the name of religion is enshrined in our Constitution.

Most liberal Dems who identify as religious only make vague references to the supernatural and are otherwise quite rational. I can identify as I was like that for most of my early life and still voted Dem.

It's a process...
