Isn't that, in a way, thinking that your beliefs "trump" everyone else's (or thinking that your beliefs should win out, at the very least)?
I love over-generalizations when it comes to politics. I'll bet you most conservatives couldn't care less, as long as it doesn't increase our taxes.  |
Did you read the comments under the article on the link? That is what I was commenting on.
As for the Atheist comment, my point is that choosing to automatically exclude someone who is honest about their disbelief in a God is ridiculous. Most Americans just take politicians fake protestations of Christianity at face value and make it such a huge factor in choosing a President. I see it as a sign of dishonesty. I'll take an honest atheist any day.
