When I was a kid, politicians wanted to avoid talking about religion if they could. John F. Kennedy couldn't duck the issue, being Catholic and all. So how did he address it? By reminding Americans that religion shouldn't be an issue, that he was concentrating on big things like poverty and hunger and leading the space race.

Someone who is a good person should have no fear of the government whatsoever.

Never ascribe to conspiracy that which can be attributed to ignorance.

The Tea Party claims to want small government.

If you want to turn out an atheist child, unconditional love constantly is a good way to do it.

Behaving morally because of a hope of reward or a fear of punishment is not morality. Morality is not bribery or threats. Religion is bribery and threats. Humans have morality. We don't need religion.

I've never had a drink of alcohol or any drug in my life.
