2. As a "none" myself, I can vouch for the distaste for religious pandering.

I absolutely HATE that shit. I tolerated it in 2008 because I realized that it was necessary for Obama to reach out to the religious folks to get elected, but I'm glad he stopped this election. I find it extremely distasteful that there is a constant presence of religious reference in so much of our politics and I believe it gets in the way of rational thinking about our future. I was disgusted when the Dems caved to pressure at their convention and forced through the addition of God propaganda to their platform. What bullshit.
