As an atheist I want to give a shout out to all who support our ideals as a party.

[Eko]

No matter their religions or lack of it. We all debate, question, argue, sometimes insult and even act childish. But we are all Democrats and I am glad for it. Thanks to you all.

2. Oh, I didnt mean you.

Totally kidding!!!!! Thanks guillaumeb,,,,, keep on keep oning! Sometimes we all need a reminder that we are on the same team no matter our other differences.

3. We agree on this, and probably on many things.

Our areas of agreement are, in my view, far more important than our disagreements.

[Eko]

4. Yes, I am 100% sure we agree on way more than we dont.

and the things we agree on are far more important than our disagreements. I'm glad you are here.

7. As an agnostic I support this message.

Thanks for a welcome (might I even say "blessed"?) note of sanity in what are undoubtedly insane times.

10. See that's what I don't get.

We all vote Democratic in the end, I hope. So why do some believers threaten those of us who post our unflattering opinions about religion with the idea that they (or other believers) won't vote Democratic if we continue? Are their progressive values not strong enough? Would someone religious really be so upset that an atheist posted something negative on the Internet, that they would sabotage everything by voting for Republicans to "show us"? That seems ridiculous to me - and if someone's commitment to the Democratic platform really is that weak, who knows what else might push them over the edge.

I wish the threats would stop. Nonbelievers have a right to express their opinions too.

12. The nones are the strongest liberal block

And we get ignored by the party all the time.

13. Sometimes I wish we only got ignored.

Democrats love to throw in the "God bless Americas" as much as Republicans do.

14. True, true

Always take a back seat in election years... Or other years...
