This is what fucking pisses me off about politics and the way people vote. A politician's stance on god should have absolutely nothing to do with whether you should vote for him/her. What should matter is the politician's policies and the direction the politician plans to take the town/state/country.
Answer me this, if you were planning to vote for a candidate because you love everything he/she talks about doing, would you not vote for them simply because you found out they didn't believe in god?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
