Atheists Applaud Obama for Including Them in Fort Hood Speech
Respectful Obama
To me this is such a breath of fresh air. It always made me cringe to hear a president state god as a reason for their actions. For Obama to actually acknowledge non-believers in a speech is extremely warming. It is so much more respectful than always catering solely to ones own religious views, like many, many past presidents have done.
Heck, some past presidents have even openly denounced atheists (e.g.: Reagan and H.W. Bush). It is very difficult for me to respect such sentiments from the President of the US.

Agreed.
Subtract religion , we're all human beings and worthy of the same respect. Those who are not worthy of respect are the ones who flip out and hurt other people.
