REPLY TO PAUL R's COMMENTS

Good point, Paul. I still recall a political science class I took in college back in the 1960s where we were told of a poll taken to determine the group least likely to win elective office. Down below blacks, Asians, Hispanics, homosexuals, and even convicted felons were the Atheists. I submit that nothing has really changed since that time. One would think that living in the only nation on earth that has a constitution which mandates a separation of church and state that the Atheist would be the perfect choice for an elected official. But that is not the case. By the way, I'm an Atheist and, guess what, you did mention Kennedy after all.
