Um, most of the state laws restricting the rights of homosexuals have been people driven initiatives. What has the president done?
There's a reason people like Pat Robertson could never be the president of this country. People like someone with faith because it supposedly speaks about their character, or it shows that they have a foundation in their values, which might give a glimpse into how they will govern.
It applies to Southern conservatives when they protest abortion, but it
also applies to Catholic governors when they oppose the death penalty.
How would having an intelligent atheist as president of a country with a large Christian population be better in your atheistic, secular-humanist, Canadian socialist perspective...?
