If not which one's are?
Or are they all part of the 10% you think believe in God.
and again this post has Riot stink all over it.

altho it is stated there shall be no religious test for office, most would never step out on that limb and say they don't have a faith. i remember reading that people said that jefferson was an atheist, he had a tough row to hoe because of that claim. even then, religion was a bone of contention. why do you suppose it's specifically listed in voting rights amendments.
and yeah, how dare i suggest pols would lie.
i'm not quite sure why you're getting so defensive about this topic. yes, there is a consensus, and not just on this board, that religion has caused and now causes a lot of ills. it's a deserved reputation. i didn't give it that rep, it gave it to itself.
i think some people are good people, and would be with or without a specific religion to follow. and there are plenty of hypocrites who are in a religion as well. i just know what my experiences are, what i've found in people, and what i've found throughout the histories i've read.
sorry if it bothers you.
