What about the *non* religious voters?

[sueslangford]

As a pagan, I think this is a great question! I would love to hear the candidates responses.

[retrofuturex]

I like this question. How will the religious right respond?

[JediOfTheShire]

first: WHY the HELL would you say "God Bless America" if you're an atheist!?!?! It's just rude to christians, that's like me saying "nothing happens when you die"

First amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion" let's do some math.

Christianity = C*(A+B+D+E+F+G+H+I+M+Q+R+O+U+S­)

Parts of Life = A, B, D, E, F, G, H, I, M, Q, R, O, U, S

[JediOfTheShire]

Morals = M

Christian Morals = CM

Moral values of our nation (NM) = A complex equation involving M & CM

We make laws based on NM the "Moral Values of our Nation" and we elect leaders that represent our beliefs and morals, so:

CM (Christian Morals) are every bit as important to law-making as M (Morals of everyone else) are.

Nevermind. I see you decided to remove it. I would've rather seen this question than the other, but at least one of them made it through.

[Lunch4lyfe]

I never removed it...

[RyuHayabusa06]

Why does it say this?: *Following the suggestion of this video's author, we have removed his second video (What about the *non* religious voters?) from the top ten because it essentially asked the same question.

[Lunch4lyfe]

True, I do remember giving them the option to remove the video of mine with the lowest votes. I had no idea they would be so close in 2nd and 3rd place though. Oh well, yes atleast we got one of them in. Also, Chris Dodd answered this question and all the answers to my non religious voters question would probably be the same. We can get a variety of answers to my other question however.

[RyuHayabusa06]

What the hell happened to this question over at 10questions? This is the one I wanted to see most and they removed it despite it having third most votes. I guess they just didn't want too many questions dealing with the problem of religion in America.

What about the *non* religious voters? ^^^

Air drop'em over Cuba. They can hate god all they want, and the nation is already communist, so they won't have to change anything.

[grumpychuck]

HAAA...The voice of reason.

[beebopaloobop123]

You can't hate something that doesn't exist.

[Lynnianaa]

The founding fathers foresaw the problem religious influences will have on politics (and the kind of zealous fanaticism it brings), so they decided to mandate the separation of church and state. Let's keep it that way.

[AZNGoSu]

THERE IS NO SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE IN THE CONSTITUTION. All you atheist ALL are crazy and you THINK THERE IS SUCH THING? no you idiots.

[Lynnianaa]

O rly? ¬_¬

[MrBadAxe]

First amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..."

[Lunch4lyfe]

Thanks everyone, or atleast stop abusing it to tell other people how to live.

[obgfoster]

Being a Christian obviously hasn't made Bush any kind of model of morality. Let's put religion back in the private sphere where it belongs and get our country back on a rational footing.

[VonHelton]

Bush is not a christian or a conservative, Bush is a globalist.

:/

[lstarr7]

Can't wait to hear this get addressed tomorrow night!

[AcidRain64]

Very important question!

[Brianrrs37]

I would also incourage atheists AND non-Christian citizen voters to show up to the live TV debates and try to get on the list of questioners, write down a generic question to get to the mic. then switch the question off script so they cant cut you out at that point. Something like "What are you doing to educate every citizen including non-Christians about "no religious test" in letting them know they CAN run for any office?

[grazon]

Didn't we just elect to Congress a Muslim two Buddhists and a bunch of people who's religion is ambiguous?

+We've had more dozens of Jewish people in Congress for decades.

[wuicker]

Which part of "non-religious" do you not understand?

[grazon]

When people talk about the need to break down the idea of a religious test for a person to run for congress they are often refering to the misconception that all congressmen are Christians who attend church regularly.

btw religion is ambiguous=not really religious do you understand that?

[TheRealGreg]

I hope the canidates don't tiptoe around this question. It's about time the people ask politicians to uphold the seperation of church and state.

[shakermakr]

Hi Lunch4lyfe, I sent you a message earlier today. Don't know if you check this comment board more often than your inbox, but if so, take a look at the message and get back to me when you have a sec. Thanks!

[Lunch4lyfe]

Thanks! You can actually vote at the site link which can be found in my video description. :)

[randomdude90]

great question! hopefully it will be answered during the debates. they should let youtube users vote on some of the questions which will be used.

I hope there is a question in there about the non-religious.

[Lunch4lyfe]

Hopefully we will find out, go to the link in the Video Description to vote!

[jwcooke]

Very good question...how will we be treated?

[ftom2006]

Important question - rated high. Yeah, it looks much better with stars attached to it :-)
