43. It also reinforced that our nominee should be familiar with religion.

I know that suggestion will send some here into convulsions, but the truth is a vast majority of Americans are believers. It is what it is.

As an agnostic, I bristle at some of the hardcore anti-religious anger here, not because I don't understand and agree with the basic premise (I do), but because of the caliber of nastiness. A harsh comparison needs to be made here and that is that level of nastiness mimics (reads mirror image) the level of explosive rage spewed from the wingnut section of America, and that's not good for a lot of reasons.

This is an election and we really need to be smart about this. It's all a dog and pony show to be sure, but the winner takes the helm of this country.
