This really isn’t anything different than any other president has said in living memory. If anything, it’s not as extreme as some of them.
For example-
No, I don’t know that atheists should be regarded as citizens, nor should they be regarded as patriotic. This is one nation under God.
That was George H. W. Bush.
That said, I will give his piece of shit son credit for one thing. He said this:
I will be your president regardless of your faith. And I don’t expect you to agree with me, necessarily, on religion. As a matter of fact, no president should ever try to impose religion on our society. The great – the great tradition of America is one where people can worship the – the way they want to worship. And if they choose not to worship, they’re just as patriotic as your neighbor.

I can’t remember any other time when a Republican at pretty much any level, let alone a president, would say that about atheists.
Why is it always that the US does something bad or beyond logic, it always goes back to “what about that time when x said/did something worse” as if it’s any fucking better?
- Remember that time when obama bombed a wedding?
- Remember when bush made up lies about invading iraq and got out scot-free?
- Remember that time when we invaded countries for no reason other than pushing our agenda?
- Remember when we funded terrorists that are now terrorizing the locals?
- Remember when we changed regimes to religious fundamentalists that turned into theocracy?
- Remember when we supported coups in democratic countries?
He can say any fucking prepared statement, he’s a piece of shit zionist currently perpetuating a genocide. People trying to present him in positive light comparingto the scum of the nation are maggots that plague the earth.
I sure do love being forced to vote for a capitalist christian in every goddamn election.
Sure makes me feel like I fucking belong here.
being forced to vote for a capitalist christian in every goddamn election.
Have you ever been involved in the candidate selection process?
Oh so I just need to be a lackey for the dems for thirty years and then I can con my way into a being a superdelegate and have some say in who I elect.
And then when I pick the atheist anarchist I get told they’re unelectable.
Better and worse are options.
Not everything is a binary “best or worst” choice.
Our options are “less worse” and “more worse.” We don’t get to vote for better.
In the same breath, Biden asserts that every person is created in the “image of God,” implying a place for faith in interpreting America’s founding principles.
coming from a Catholic that was in office when Roe v. Wade was overturned
feels more like United States of Christ than ever
