Necessary Religion
Doesn't it seem like every candidate has to sit around and talk about their faith? In fact, they have to wear it on their sleeves every day. I have to wonder how sincere any candidate is when these are things that kind of have to say.

1. it's like this
when 90%+ of America believes in this, er, STUFF, it's a huge block to pander to - that's why they do it. How sincere they are in their, er, "faith" is anyone's guess.

3. Because right wingnuts have made it necessary.
We need to jettison right wingnuts out of offices at all levels. Really. Unless we're going to let them throw the Constitution in the toilet, which is what they secretly aim for but lie about.

6. I know what you mean. You know tho, even those who believe, should learn that this country....
... was founded on the freedom of people to have whatever beliefs they want, without having any beliefs shoved down their throat. If only they knew that much, they would not vote in trash like we've had for the past 8 years, or trash like Ronald Reagan.

It makes me so sad to know how ignorant this country's population has become. :(

9. By ARGUING with people who want to spread religion all around us...
... like some kind of fake butter spread. I don't like to argue with people about religion, but I WILL argue with them about them wanting to interject it into politics, daily life, and most importantly, LAWS.

Also, tear it down whereever you can. For example, Pro-Lifers are about the most avid users of in vitro fertilization. According to the Pro-Life idea of what killing life consists of (killing embryos), in vitro kills FAR MORE embryos than abortion. Not one Pro-Lifer wants this brought out in the open, because Pro-Lifers are using in vitro. Tear them apart with this. Ask them why they're not protesting at in vitro clinics.

Just tear apart any public displays of religion with the intent and purpose of interjecting it into our daily lives by force, through laws.

Yell it all out loud, make noise, write letters, etc.

8. Is that one of those scary Hieronymus Bosch paintings that give me nightmares because
they bring to mind a world under the rule of Repugnicans?
