The Democratic National Committee last week passed a resolution recognizing so-called “nones” as “the largest religious group” in the party and warning of threats caused by “misplaced claims of ‘religious liberty.’”
At its annual summer meeting in San Francisco, California, the DNC passed a resolution on August 24 that recognizes the rise in the religiously-unaffiliated in the U.S., FoxNews.com reported.
The resolution says that the religiously unaffiliated have been marginalized from society and from politics, and notes the harm caused by the use of “religious liberty” against “the LGBT community, women, and ethnic and religious/nonreligious minorities” and others.
In a press release praising the decision, the Secular Coalition for America stated that, in passing the resolution, the DNC “embraced American nonbelievers for the first time” and that “they recognize the value of courting the largest, fastest growing religious demographic in the nation.”
The DNC’s resolution also claims that “the religiously unaffiliated demographic represents the largest religious group within the Democratic Party, growing from 19% in 2007 to one in three today.”

“It calls the religiously-unaffiliated “a group that, as much as any other, advocates for rational public policy based on sound science and universal humanistic values.”
“Pride” ideology, specifically the transgender/gender dysphoria culture is rational and based in sound science?
The DNC better be careful whom they court. The rationalists and scientismists don’t like contradictions and their yen for totalitarian thinking won’t end up friendly….
What, pray tell, is a “scientismist”? There is a bastardization of the English language that ads “-ist” to anything one doesn’t like. “Homosexualist”, “Islamist”, and now “scientismist”. It’s all silly. The suffix -ist denotes one who has expert knowledge of and contributes to a body of knowledge. Hence, a geologist is an expert in and contributes to the body of knowledge about the earth, a field known as geology. A hematologist is a person who has expert knowledge of the study of blood, a field known as hematology. A person with expert knowledge of and contributes to the body of knowledge known as science is called a scientist. What, pray tell, is a scientismist?
How appropriate that the meeting was held in San Francisco.
So the Donkey does X. What has the Elephant been up to lately? Or going to do next year?
Another headline for CCD. Republicans pander to the Christian Right.
And Democrats to the unhinged deranged Left.
Ronnie: it’s unfortunate Christians, including many Catholics, in the USA have aligned themselves with the Republican Party. After all, the Gospels indicate Jesus is a liberal who does not support the politics or policies of the conservatives.
Only in your confused mind would you believe that Jesus would support abortion, the killing of the innocents and sodomy.
