C'mon, You Nonbelievers: VOTE!

Seriously?  Turnout 10 points lower than average?  Are you fucking kidding me? You know what that means?

It means that atheists and all the other Nones are TO BLAME for the repug/freakazoid/know-nothing takeover of this country.

Yes, all you non-believers: unless you are voting in every election including primaries and specials, and voting in every single race, this repug catastrophe we've been suffering for the past 40 years is YOUR FAULT.

Kevin Drum:

Christopher Ingraham takes a look at a recent survey of atheists and agnostics and asks, "Why don't the unaffiliated vote?"

As Pew Research Center's Greg Smith told me earlier this year, "It could be the 'nones' are not connected, almost by definition, to religious institutions, which can play an important role in spurring turnout and interest in politics." It's also the case that the unaffiliated tend to be younger than the population as a whole. And younger people in general are less likely to vote than their older peers.

If you are aware at all of what goes on at churches, those motherfuckers TURN OUT.  Voting - voting repug - is a fucking sacrament to them.  If you're not voting, you're handing the country and the future of us all over to the people who represent the absolute worst of America and humanity.

As President Obama likes to say, "Don't boo, vote." If you're unhappy with the influence that conservative Christians have on American politics, go out and vote for someone who's more likely to favor evidence-based policy than faith-based policy. If you're not willing to do that, then don't gripe the next time some yahoo manages to get evolution expunged from your local textbooks.
