The first casualty is the national community. Romney described a community yesterday. Observant Catholics, Baptists, Methodists, Jews and Muslims are inside that community. The nonobservant are not. There was not even a perfunctory sentence showing respect for the nonreligious. I’m assuming that Romney left that out in order to generate howls of outrage in the liberal press.

So, Mormons are cool, but atheists and agnostics are un-American and are probably only going to Hell anyway. I'm glad that I didn't catch the speech. These fundamentalist types usually just get under my skin. And the speech is apparently considered a big success, even Kennedyesque - uggh, I threw up a little in my mouth.
After all, as Randall Balmer points out, Kennedy also asserted the separation between church and states, whereas Romney obviously does not and would want to rule with his own soft brand of sharia, as do all other non-evolution believing fundamentalists.
