The Majority of NONE.

The political landscape in the past year has been tumultuous, to say the least. While there are currently 18 potential Democratic candidates vying for the nomination, there is only one that has FINALLY acknowledged a growing demographic in the political landscape. The nones, or the religiously unaffiliated, make up roughly 25% of the population. They are now a larger group than evangelicals.

Yes, you read that correctly.

But, until now, no political candidate has ever created a position to help communicate with this group or listen to them. Elizabeth Warren is "seriously thinking" about creating a "Secular Outreach Director".

While most candidates have a religious or faith based outreach to appeal to the evangelicals, no one has ever created a SECULAR version.

I applaud her openness to the idea, which was brought up to her by a constituent at an Iowa townhall meeting. I'm leery of it taking hold though. The religious right has such a stronghold on our country, almost brain-washing the entire population to believe we are a christian nation. Which, by the way, we are NOT.

In case you want or need proof, I encourage you to read "The Founding Myth" by Andrew Seidel, a Constitutional attorney.He has perfectly laid out historical facts showing how our country was founded and the ludacris ways the religious right try to show how we are founded on christian principles. 

I am hoping this gains traction because we who are unaffiliated do not yet have a voice in politics. We don't have a caucus, we barely have an open member of Congress. Our political leaders need to remember their oaths of office that are for service to ALL citizens, not just those who believe as they do.

As a small town "none", I was excited at the idea of a candidate finally realizing we are a growing group. Finally, a politician might be seeing that they are missing the boat by forgetting the nones. Maybe, just maybe we will see an increased focus on the secular population. We are growing and we want our voices heard.

We want our leaders to keep that wall between church and state strong and tall.

THIS is the most important wall for the success and survival of our republic.
