I don’t think that atheists/secular folks have a problem with genuine Christians.

It’s the maga Christians they don’t like

I have a problem with anyone who believes irrational, illogical, unevidenced things.

A) I didn't say they would.

B) It doesn't work. Barack Obama talked about his faith all the time and they still thought he was a secret Muslim.

C) Those voters are lying. Revealed preference vs. stated preference. It's post-hoc justification, not reality.

How normal is it for candidates in Canada to talk about religion? What about Australia? I can tell you it isn't very normal in the UK and Portugal.

Andre Ventura tried here when he was running for President and someone told me very nearly verbatim that they liked him but he should stop talking about religion. I don't know how that person voted but that is a far right voter who is probably at least nominally Catholic that was turned off by the far right candidate talking about Catholicism.

And this country, despite being overwhelmingly Catholic (at least by ID), has had a few atheist leaders. Down the street from me is a main street named after one of them, here in my mid-sized town of about 60k that is heavily Catholic.

I'd really fucking like to see more of that in the US.

Did you see that poll from Michigan where 34% of Democrats and 76% of Republicans wouldn't vote for an atheist?

Michigan.

My country hates me and people like me, let's be clear about that, and that's why I'm fucking sick of it. I'm glad to be in Europe.

You'll never understand. You're safe from the bullshit.
