If any party is going to move in that direction, it will be the Dems, but they have a long way to go. The overwhelming perception is still that every politician HAS to have some kind of faith in god or else they're just hedonistic ne'er-do-wells.

I think that was part of Bernie's attraction, in that he downplayed any religious overtones and younger people (who tend to be much more religion-free) could relate to it.

I have little patience for people who go on and on about the lard and their close relationship with "him."
