    Poor Bernie. The truth is America already has tons of social ideas. The most obvious is in the title, social security. But whatever. Atheists? If you feel the same, can I ask why? What do you think we're doing that is so deplorable? Smoking weed watching Cosmos?

    Maybe electorally, but the bottom of the melting pot is always burned black.

    If China becomes embroiled in Iraq-like conflicts, it wouldn't be a surprise if Chinese was down there too.

    The whole Carson thing, while can be dismissed in typical right-wing nuttiness, does point out the obvious:

    There won't be a Muslim president anytime soon.

    Which isn't that big an issue compared to how we treat other people and other nations.

    Substantive progress >>>> symbolic progress.

    Well the poll isn't asking if we dislike them exactly.

    Disliking people for religious beliefs isn't cool.

    But its not exactly surprising that we wouldn't vote for a failed ideology like socialism. Actually it's the scientific answer.

    SOME are necessary. We aren't going to take turn fixing the highways so the state or feds owning and controlling some facets of life is normal, but they don't own it all which is what socialism is about....

    I'd like to have seen these answers based on Party affiliation.

    religious beliefs are a choice. Judge people by their choices. you wouldn't dislike someone who believed he should kill all infidels?

    Looks like the key is to find a Catholic black woman.

    Would get 90% of the vote.

    they asked a republican if they would vote a socialist?
    :rolleyes: What did they expect?
    Socialism is a political ideology and is unlike these other categories.

    correct. not sure what your point is.

    imo gay/lesbian, black, Hispanic don't belong on the list. they are not choices.

    Belief systems encompass more than just religion.

    What's interesting is that Democrats equally support Evangelicals and Atheists. Republicans hate Atheists.
