not the equivalent of a religious meeting.

If this group is used to lobby and create political action against the intrusion of religion in American life - in women's lives, in education, in the prejudice against those who have decided they do not believe in religious doctrine -

then I see it as a good thing.

And, frankly, Obama needs to be pressured on this front, as well as others, because, otherwise, he will think this is a group that can be ignored or whose rights can be denied to make nice with religious bigots in this nation.

Some of those religious bigots also vote for democrats. So they need to know they aren't the only voices that count.
