"...in my own public policy, I'm very suspicious of religious certainty expressing itself in politics....that's different form a belief that values have to inform our public policy. I think it's perfectly consistent to say that I want my government to be operating for all faiths and all peoples, including atheists and agnostics, while also insisting that there are values that inform my politics that are appropriate to talk about."

Obama, Obama, Obama these days, right? I'm almost tired of hearing, reading, seeing him and we haven't even gotten to the inauguration. This article was enlightening though in it's candidness. I'm very glad that there is someone finally in office whose personal philosophies so closely resemble my own.
