So our President gets down on his knees and prays to "God".

274. hold him to the same standard

if he uses religion as a way to deny civil rights to others, then that religion is not good. if he uses religion as a way to demonstrate love toward all, then that's useful.

no doubt every national politician has to kowtow to the majority of Americans who have negative attitudes toward those who don't include a god as part of their belief system - but it's not up to me to determine what his actual beliefs may be.

it's odd that you are trying to use the president to slam atheists. it indicates someone who is very submissive to authority - you are trying to make a case for god because of what an authority figure does.

that's really not a worthwhile argument.
