Atheists & Agnostics

As an agnostic/atheist person who is agnostic as the existence of a deity, who has seen no evidence of a deity, the fact is that when a person puts their name forward for public office they open themselves to all sorts of questions. I'm of the opinion that the Religious among us should declare themselves as supporters of a medieval way of thinking, a philosophy that easily lends itself to the promulgation of a hegemony of religious zealots.

America doesn't need these kind of people in federal government, the kind of person who doesn't understand that we live in modern times and that modern times create the need for modern thinking people. The rabid fundamentalist is a person who has excluded the other believers to a moral certainty. The feel that they no longer have to be respectful and have manners when they speak to and interact with those don't believe as they do.
