In a Gallup poll in, I think, February of this year, a sample of a couple thousand Americans were read a list of 12 or so ethnic, religious, and cultural markers and asked whether or not they were deal-breakers should they be attached to a presidential candidate. Of the field, I figured homosexuals were a lock for the lowest approval ratings, but we were outdone by atheists, for whom a whopping 70% of the electorate would vote against even if they agreed with the candidate’s platform. As a secular humanist lesbian, does that put my approval rating at less than zero?
