Any room for atheists in the Republican Party??..

I think that the religious right is drawn to the Republican party because in reality, they share a great deal of the same values. The Republicans basically came into their own with the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; that's when most of the Southern Democrats abandoned the party and joined the Republicans, who were against the Act. IMO, that's the genesis of the Repub's racist roots. The rest of the mindset follows Southern Baptist ideals and those are rooted in Calvinism. In any case, the mix of religion and politics is toxic waste and like a toxin, is slowly killing this country.

I agree! I'm not if sure this is the right place to ask on these forums, but I am not sure where to stand on the issue of global warming-I know the science behind it, but it's become so damned politicized it seems really hard to get to the truth about whether or not human-caused global warming is in fact happening. And I want to know. I have seen "An Inconvenient Truth", but then read from some who say that it's junk science.

Ask yourself this, do you want to take the risk that it will destroy the world? if it's fake you will end with 2 things, a lot less polluted world, and cleaner tech, of course it will cost money.
