That article sucked, but it does remind me of a nagging disparity I have in my head. My impression is that most of the smart, liberal people I know are not theists (agnostic is probably the most commonly expressed affiliation). And yet, polls seem to show that there are only about 3 atheists in the entire country. So, that does make some part of me suspect that a fair number of smart, liberal people aren't being sincere.

I'm an atheist and I support gay rights (especially gay marriage) but I'm not bothered at all by Warren giving the invocation. It seems like most religions hold similar beliefs to Warren, so what were people expecting?
