If it had only been a mention that we exist or that we were good people too, I would understand your sentiment. But his mention was much more substantial. He was talking about the rationales given for policy choices in government. Specifically, he said it would never be enough to just say "god wills it" or "that is what the bible says" to justify legislation. The rationale given would have to be comprehensible to people of any faith or no faith. This is what I want to hear from religious people in government.
