Atheism in the US is indeed confined to the sneering coastal elites (ie people like us ;). Actively offending theists (90% of the American population) the way Dawkins would have us do is not a winning election strategy.<BR/><BR/>That being said, I'm not sure the Democrats are actually *moving* anywhere... they were never vociferous atheists in the Dawkins/Hutchins/Hanington mold. For one thing, nobody is seriously questioning US support for Israel (a die-hard evangelical plank, how's Jeebus gonna come back if Israel gets wiped out?). They only *look* like atheists in comparison to the faith-based presidency of Bush 43. (btw, check my blog... way way back I posted about a Ron Suskind article in the NY Times Mag on that subject... great article).Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18123384778981698330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37446773.post-75986745189570304712007-07-30T22:35:00.000-07:002007-07-30T22:35:00.000-07:00Sometimes, an obsession isn't just an obsession ...<A HREF="http://www.mwscomp.com/movies/grail/grail-03.htm" REL="nofollow">Sometimes</A>, an obsession isn't just an obsession :-)richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04371755412890078678noreply@blogger.com
