This morning (8/25/12) I came downstairs to read the Post as I do most mornings. On the front page was the third part of a photo-journalist series about major themes in this year's Presidential race. The first two parts were women and the economy. The third part, published today, was faith. The Post found, interviewed, and showcased Mormons, Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Buddhists, and Muslims to share their respective views on the roll faith should play in the upcoming election. Noticeably absent was, of course, non-believers. The journalist (and by extension the editors) simply "overlooked" the opinions of non-believers on this topic.
Seriously, What. The. Fuck. They showcased 2 Buddhist leaders in Virginia, but no non-believers? The implication is that non-believers' opinions on the roll of faith in politics is inconsequential.
Here's the link to the online article, apologies if it doesn't work, I'm on my phone.
