Reply #38: Why would you think that? [View All]

If you could even think of voting Republican, I suspect you wouldn't feel welcome here, no.

Many of us feel that science is under threat from the Republicans, with the aid of the Christian right, and we're very touchy about science being distorted for politico-religious ends (Intelligent Design being the most obvious, but not only, example). We're ready to call bullshit on bad science. Personally, I've always thought of freethinking as a characteristic of the left, so I make no apology for questioning any beliefs. I'm sure your faith will survive a little rough and tumble, if it's worth anything.
