Democratic Party drops "God" in its platform

[A Theist]

Well, I believe that only parties who play for really vulgar agendas use the God factor in their platforms.
In truth, the Christian-Democrats of Europe, although still conservative, are not known to use religion as a means of gaining votes.
Such things are anti-democratic, and anti-secular by default.
Not to say that people ought to take a negative stance towards religion as part of their platforms, but a completely neutral stance.

Belief in God and the Judeo / Christian faith is still very much a part of our culture here with 76% to 80% of Americans identifying themselves as Christians. Though most don't consider it paramount in their lives, "A majority of Americans report that religion plays a "very important" role in their lives,". I don't think that dropping God from their party platform and dropping the line that stated Jerusalem is and always shall be the capital of Israel is going to go over very well with some voters. Anything that leftist Democrats can do to undermine themselves is fine with me....

The majority of Americans (76% to 80%) identify themselves as Christians.
