the guy at 1:31 is FALSE Jimmy Carter anyone? he was and still is a devout christian who never denied his faith. I am a young WHITE Evangelical who votes Democratic and plans to continue to do so. the religious right may have my parents and grandparents by the throat but not me and many in my generation.
Marriage is recognized NOW as a union between a man and a woman. Decent people just want man/man and woman/woman added to that. It diminishes nothing, and changes nothing. Marriages between man and women will continue to be recognized legally.
Yeah these guys put ppl in the white house with fingers hovering all over the 'nuke them all' button. Scary stuff. Hey, at least we survived Bush for a decade right?
I'm disturbed by the necessity of invoking God and faith and overall religiosity in order to succeed in American politics, and now evidently it's bled fully over into the rhetoric of Democrats as well.
I hope through the internet and communication my American counterparts and friends find out that this is not the case in other first world, civilized countries. Stand for reason, it's a pillar that religiosity will remove.
@discountninjuh I am not saying that the UK is perfect. I am trying to say Americans are acting like baffons as they would vote for someone because he says "God bless America!"
@matharoofmaths not just britain, but almost all western developed countries. The US are the only developed country where you find religion growing instead of declining.
Jefferson was a deist but you arent taking into consideration the other founders. don't forget manifest destiny, and the american ideal of the new chosen people. And please don't insult me by saying i am brainwashed. If you are honestly telling me that Christianity played no role, or even a minor role in the drafting of the constitution then you my friend have absolutely no sense of history.
i understand and perfectly agree with you that jefferson was a deist. He also had his own version of the bible. On the comment list for this vid anyways, all I see is your
"if this was a muslim country then id understand, the truth is this was founded on christian principles and christian ideals so get the hell outta here with the whole aethist argument, its not that kind of country. thats the fact " comment.
The premise of this video is just plain silly. America didn't suddenly become liberal. The economy crashed, Bush was blamed for it, and that trickled down on republicans. It's no more complicated than that.

@Russellt0228 "The 1796 treaty with Tripoli states that the United States is "in no sense founded on the Christian religion". This treaty written under the presidency of George Washington; signed under the presidency of John Adams."
Thomas Jefferson- "Christianity neither is nor ever was a part of the common law."
Nice try though. read up on it, your brainwashing is strong.
@Stevejt88 just as i commented before the US is found on the premise of free-worship however you didnt read what i wrote. I said it was founded on christian values, and it was. Right to property, ownership of land, tithes, equality for all under god, are not hindu nor muslim values are they?
"The 1796 treaty with Tripoli states that the United States is "in no sense founded on the Christian religion". This treaty written under the presidency of George Washington; signed under the presidency of John Adams."
and it was unanimously accepted.
I am not claiming anything more then what the founding fathers had intended, stated above. They intended America not be an atheist, deist, muslim, hindu or Christian nation. It is intentionally secular.
@Stevejt88 and once more please please please, don't use the word brainwashing on people who understand history and can actually read a little better than you. You want to discuss brainwashing we can get into the idea that Obama is the greatest president since Lincholn. we can talk about how evil BP is, and how all the faults of the world can be blamed on Jews.
Christians believe they are better then everyone else; that if you are not one of them you are immoral and unworthy of a higher beings eternal love. I am not intending to offend you, but it is true. Christians are always trying to add their god, to the nation, to the currency, and to the national pledge; which all should be for ALL americans. Always shoving their morals down the throats of the minority, and often breaking the golden rule for their superstitions.
Atheists, agnostics, jewish persons, christians, hinu... whatever. Each side thinks they are right. Remember that when you think the other is wrong, they will or may be offended. I have no intention of offending you, as a christian as no intention of offending someone by telling others that they may go to hell if they are not saved. Being offended is to a large degree a choice. As an evangelical atheist, I first seek your reaction, and secondly to "enlighten" you. Sorry if it was abrasive .
Jimmy Swaggart, and Bakker with his Golden Dog House.There are plenty more
like these scum.Pat Robertson is a narrow minded old bigot who's nightmare
view of the World would be even too extreme for shit-heads like Limbaugh.Personally I would not touch these people with a barge poll.They only want their Consiences massaging because their vast Wealth does not tie in with Gods message,like love the "Poor"!!
lol I'd love to see your sources on that one. The guy goes to church regularly, you infer that he is a lier and conveniently an Athiest also. This idea that Atheists would lie and cheat to gain power is exactly the reason that they would NEED to do so. Not that i believe for a second that Obama is an Atheist.
The man has very anti-religious ideologies. He's pro-abortion, he's pro-gay rights, he's pro-stem cell research... All signs of an Atheist liberal democrat (which i am). And btw going church means nothing religious beliefs wise, i go to prayer with my family but i'm an Atheist; you just keep some things a secret if it benefits you. Now if Obama openly stated he was an Atheist he wouldn't have been elected, if he HADN'T gone church he wouldn't have been able to reach out to the religious voters
That's probably true. I learned from my own family's reactions that it's often a lot safer just to pretend... and as for politicians, it's suicide to not at least appear as a Christian.
Great video. So many people have turned away from Christianity because the right wing extremists have hijacked it and given it a hateful reputation. I'm so grateful that Bush is finally gone!
