Speaking of religion, politics and inauguration invocations, Rebus, the only official spokesdog for SLANTblog wonders:
In the long run, wouldn't it be safer for us to have an atheist president with his finger on the button -- nuclear oblivion! -- than a Christian president, who truly believes in a heavenly afterlife? An afterlife that is a better place? Uh-oh! Might an atheist president care more about the real life we are living now on Earth than a Christian president?

How do you classify the President elect? He, himself pleads Christianity.
Paul H,
Obama says he's a Christian. And, of course, there are many shades of that faith. He also seems to have a firm grasp grasp on reality. I have no idea what conflicts might exist in his private mind, to do with his faith.
But for my money, the less formally religious a president is the better.
The fact that Richmond was where the revolutionary idea of separating church and state was first cobbled into law is something this Richmonder takes pride in.
