14. I disagree about reaching out to the faithful,
and I'm an atheist.

The overwhelming majority of Democrats are, in fact religious. They aren't, in general, "in-your-face, look-at-me-goin'-to-the-megachurch, you're-goin'-to-hell-because-Jeebus-loves-me-more-than-you" religious folk that the republicans court. I find that most religious Democrats I've had discussions with are even more disgusted by the way that the Republicans have tried to corner the market on "religious values" while behaving in as immoral a manner as possible.

I'm all in favor of the Democrats reaching out to the vast hordes of liberal and middle-of-the-road religious people and letting them know that the god they worship doesn't only love people with an (R) after their name.

What's wrong with that?
