Bush 1st on religion in America

Bush says no religious divide in America

US president George W Bush told the first news conference after his re-election that whichever religion Americans believed in, or even if they didn't believe at all, they were equally patriotic. Yahoo News report.

In 1987 George W Bush's father, George HW Bush, told a reporter at Chicago's O'Hare Airport: "I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God."

1. Well, this atheist lifts a mighty middle finger to George Sr. and

his family of dark-age fascist supporters.
