George H. W. Bush, August 27, 1987:
I don’t know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God.
Barack Obama, January 20, 2009:
For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus – and non-believers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth.
Thank you.
