81. Correct. So is the First Amendment.

Democrats bashing Democrats who discuss religion are helping Republicans who have largely hijacked for themselves the political role of protecting freedom of religion.

And while GOP support for freedom of the press, religion and the rest of the Bill of Rights is no where as strong as the support members of the Democratic Party have provided over the centuries, we Democrats today are foolish to ignore the fact most US citizens identify as people of faith. Helping the GOP alienate these potential Democratic voters is political malpractice.

If you don't have a religious affiliation, believe something else or don't believe at all, great! I'll defend you, too. It's what Democrats do.
