Dear Stupid, In the United States of America, even Christians get to vote. All denominations. All of them. Now it appears like a great many of them disagree with you. Tough. You don't like it, go to France. They CLAIM to have a totally secular gov't, although it HAS been noticed that they REALLY enjoy making that claim when screwing Muslims and aren't nearly so squeamish when it comes to Christians. Now I'm agnostic or atheist (I switch on alternate days) and you might think I would be gung ho for depriving Christians of the franchise. As a matter of fact, I'm not. I think freedom of religion is one of the best ideas the Founders had. A corollary to that is that Christians get to vote and can vote on whatever basis they choose, including letting their religious beliefs influence their vote. You don't like that? Tough. Leave. Now who the **** are to decide who is a "true Christian" and who is a "cultist"? I thought THAT decision was the realm of the Christian God, assuming there is one. It certainly is not yours.
