Rove’s atheism reconsidered?

Christopher Hitchens on Rove:

I know something which is known to few but is not a secret. Karl Rove is not a believer, and he doesn’t shout it from the rooftops, but when asked, he answers quite honestly. I think the way he puts it is, “I’m not fortunate enough to be a person of faith.”

Rove, addressing President Bush:

At month’s end, I will join those whom you meet in your travels, the ordinary Americans who tell you they are praying for you. Like them, I will ask for God’s continued gifts of strength and wisdom for you and your work, your vital work for our country and the world, and for the Almighty’s continued blessing of our great country.

Thus the only conclusion is... Christians can not be trusted? :sarcasm:

After all, if Karl Rove is a believer in the Christian tradition and he is a bad person then we can generalize that to all Christians.

Sorry if I sound angry, I'm just poking fun at a similar type of argument used against atheists.

9. If he's following the Straussian ideology of so many Republicanites,

he is himself a non-believer while cynically using religious motifs to appeal to the masses.

10. I don't think the power-hungy zealots

in rwing fundamentalism really care one iota about Rove's beliefs. They only care that he got them the power they lust for.
