American pols and their fake piety

Our faith-addled, God-fearing leaders

When was the last time an American president or candidate for the job dared to tell the truth about his religious beliefs?

If ever, really.

Perhaps some of those who admitted to deism or Unitarianism were really atheists!

As for JT, the more I read of him the more I suspect his model is the equally poorly self-educated Baltimore iconoclast, H. L. Mencken.

Still, it's good that somebody at Salon, of all places, represents this point of view.
