Joseph Farah, head of WND says atheists are not "real Americans."

It just never has dawned on this asshole that "real Americans" don't hate other religions.

"Atheists can’t be real Americans in the truest sense of the word – and People for the American Way should be renamed People for the un-American Way."

(snip)

"It’s important to note that the founders – and most of the 2 million people living in America at the time of the founding – were Christians who believed in the One True God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They weren’t referring to any other god. They rejected Allah. They rejected paganism in all its forms. They rejected atheism."

-- Joseph Farah, June 11 WorldNetDaily column

They were deists, and I suspect that today, they'd call themselves atheists.

It was George H. W. Bush who said that atheists aren't citizens. Pffftttttt who cares what either one of them say.

I can't believe he didn't get his name changed when he became of legal age. Must be some kind of Muslim sympathizer, so he can't be a real American.

What a joke, religion should never have anything to do with citizenship. I think we all know what happens when those two things get combined.

You cannot get elected as President if you admit to being an Atheist. You may as well say you're a witch.
