However I'm not at all comfortable with the idea of the religious left being "our collective example." I frankly don't trust them all to respect my right not to believe when push comes to shove.

In any event, I don't want to see the Democratic party trying to out-religion the right. I don't want to see the Democratic party sprinkling god-talk throughout its talking points.

I'd rather not see politics framed in terms of religion at all, honestly, although the day when that little dream of mine comes true seems an incredibly long ways off.

In the meantime, when discussing matters of faith with the right wing, I'd prefer to advocate that religion be kept out policy-making entirely, rather than meekly declaring "we have religionists, too."
