Mitt Romney Not Sure If Atheists Have A Place In America

Sigh…

A spokesman for the Mitt Romney campaign is thus far refusing to say whether Romney sees any positive role in America for atheists and other non-believers, after Election Central inquired about the topic yesterday

It’s a sign that Romney may be seeking to submerge evangelical distaste for Mormonism by uniting the two groups together in a wider culture war.

Another win for identity politics.  With Mike Huckabee surging in the polls, undoubtedly garnering support from religious “values voters,” Mitt Romney is feeling the need to horn in and he’s doing that by alienating secular conservative voters to ingratiate himself with more religious conservatives.

Which flies right in the face of Romney’s rhetoric about religious freedom, which doesn’t just mean that we are free to choose whatever religion we want but also that we are free to choose no religion at all if we wish.
