This is a dull, condescending post with a basically false assumption at its core: that "Democrats" ever dissed religion, or ever stopped playing the God game alongside the Republicans. Which, of course, no Democrat ever did, even the most secretly atheistic ones running for dogcatcher go through the motions of Sunday mass and professing a personal savior, blah blah.

What the poster is really mad about is all those non-leadership Democrats, or hell just progressives, or hell just secularists of whatever political stripe, who don't show the requisite respect and "tolerance" for the Amazin' Water-Into-Wine And Resurrection Miracle of the One Judeo-Christian-Islamist Sky God etc. etc.

Please don't EVER knock anyone for being a newbie! EVER!
