Sherman: Surely you recognize the equal citizenship and patriotism of Americans who are Atheists?

Bush (Senr): No, I don't know that Atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God.

Seriously? If he really said that, and never repudiated it, I'm glad he's gone.

It is all about fear of others being different from oneself. I think most Christians feel threatened by atheists. We haven’t joined the “club” and fallen in line.

I very much doubt that God will take him in. He belongs in that very warm place with men who have pitchforks, since he is a believer.

Bush Snr. Has just died, aged 94. What a terrible thing to say.

He’s dead?? You just made my day … he’d once got my vote, as an alternative to his eventual boss … a registered Republican, I hadn’t much choice.

To give some context - this was stated in 1987 when then-Vice President Bush was running for President.

Nah, it started with Nixon and has gone downhill with the Repubs since.
