The reason you vote for the lesser of two evils is so that the greater of two evils doesn't win.
I just watched the Pence video. Jesus Fuck! It's still a race to the bottom, but Pence will win going away.

Isn't that what's wrong with US politics in a nutshell?

"The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one." - George Bernard Shaw
The argument that because the signers of the Declaration of Independence believed in a creator god, that we should is particularly fraught with begged questions.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

They were products of the enlightenment, many of them clung to the term deist. They were secular in that they wanted religion and government separate.
But the majority of them were slave owners, most would be appalled at seeing a woman nominated for president, most would have shat themselves at a black man as president. Point being, not everything they stood for or believed in should be lauded. They made a remarkably transcendent document, for that they should be applauded. But the fact that they didn't believe in evolution or believed in creation doesn't make those things any more true.
