What would you say recently has been the fastest growing religious views influencing Politics in America? It is my opinion that with younger people 18-35 Atheism or Agnostic views are most prevalent. What do you say?

I'm Buddhist, I wish we could all think with a little compassion. Yes, even the Liberals and Conservative. They're humanish too.

I think atheists should back off and stop shoving their religion (atheists are a minority in the U.S.....just like liberals ) down everyone's throats, while hypocritically giving a to radical Islam behind our backs, and calling it religious tolerance

conservatives AND liberals separately are both minorities in this country.. the majority is moderates...I don't think it's fair to say Christianity is growing in influence in politics, because most moderates are more and more siding with socially liberal stances which go against christianity and islam teachings.. which tells me at the very least agnostic beliefs are influencing people's thought processes..
I really think society is moving AWAY from religion...

atheists don't knock on my door and try to sell religion to me...
If we tolerate your radical christianity, then we have to tolerate their radical islam... this liberal just thinks of islam and christianity the same...I don't favor islam.. I think it's ridiculous and dangerous just like radical christianity...

Also there is NOT an Atheist Broadcast Network, atheist don't pass a plate around to contribute to a cause. There is no requirement that atheist "Tithe" 10% of their income.

The reality is that a significant number of Christians get straight pimped for their money by so called "Evangelist".

I've never had an atheist knock on my door, or stop me on the street trying to shove their views down my throat...I have had Christians do that.

There is no requirement that Christians pay tithes as well. You donate to your church, there is no requirement to pay to attend church. That premise of yours is false.

Atheists tyryto sell their religion of non-religion to me by telling me on TV, and all liberal venues, that I'm deluded, nuts, and irrational. Just like I can't prove that God exists, you can't prove that he doesn't exist.

The way hussein obama keeps talking about his Christian faith it will probably inspire many of his sheep to become part of the flock.
