Howard Dean and Barak Obama have been doing a bit of pandering lately.

No. Will the continued love of Satan in the White House put the Republicans at odds with their Christianist base?
I don't believe Bush is Satan (Cheney, on the other hand...) but saying the the base of the Democratic party is non-believers is just as ridiculous.
Who are you to decide how people practice their faith and how they separate their views of law from their views of religion. Are you really so arrogant? And isn't arrogance a sin?

How do you know most people in the DEMOCRATIC (fixed that for ya) party are non-believers? Wouldn't that be just like me saying that "the base of the Republican party are rabid right wing evangelical christians bent on establishing a theocracy"?
EDIT:
Since you obviously know knothing about Senator Obama, let me point out that he has never made a secret about his beliefs, and has openly and candidly spoken about them in many speeches (including his key-note address at the last convention).

Maybe you should re-word your question minus the assumptions. You are assuming that just because Democrats are more private and less pushy and obnoxious with their beliefs that they are non-believers. You don't really have to go to church and preach to all that want to listen (and some that don't) to be a believer and a Christian. But you may still feel free and enjoy preaching to others if that is what your calling is. Democrats want people to feel free to pursue their individuality privately or publicly.

I don't quite understand your reasoning. It is not a requirement to be an atheist to be a Democrat. There will be no base of believers "at odds" with non-believers. Democrats support freedom from religion as well as freedom of religion; it is called respect.

Your thinking and premise are wrong as usual. It's not a matter of "believing" or not, but rather respecting whatever one wants to believe in terms of spirituality, see the difference NEOCON? so NO Democrats won't be "at odds", sorry to destroy your wishful thinking.

No, just like there are plenty of Republican non believers who may be annoyed by the religious right, but still think their political beliefs are what is important.
