In this afternoon's Democratic debate in Des Moines, Joe Biden quoted lines in a hymn from "his church". The audience-response meter dipped sharply toward negative approval. I inferred that the audience not only felt that there is no place for religion in the political debate, but they actually disapproved of its mention. Mitt's comments also ignored the substantial number of Americans who have no faith, are agnostics or atheists. As we all know, several of our Founders were of that persuasion. The Democratic Tent is big enough for them too! Good blog Senator. Excellent statement. In this afternoon’s Democratic debate in Des Moines, Joe Biden quoted lines in a hymn from “his church”.
