"Atheists can be good people, too."

Why should this matter? Whether he goes to church or not does not influence my opinion of his job, just like at work, I don't care a hoot about the church or temple people go to or if they go at all. All that matters is that they use good judgment, are smart, are decent people and are productive.

Atheists can be good people, too.

This is a stupid article, probably a filler in a slow news day.

He misses Jeremiah Wright and his rantings that he grew to love.

Obama flaunts everything else, why not going to church???

I was hoping they'd choose the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

We are supposed to have a separation of Church and State. This is not a newsworthy issue!

I think that they should have the right to quietly choose their place of worship and the media does'nt have to report the decision to anybody.

Wonderful, That is what Jesus would do. Church should be peaceful,

and Quiet, not a Social Club.
