Atheists, secularists Larry Decker rally support for Hillary Clinton
The atheists and secular voters support Hillary Clinton for President of the United States, according to polls as an atheist lobbying group speaks out the former First Lady.
The Secular Coalition of America (SCA), one of the largest atheist groups in the country, has nothing but praise for Clinton and nothing but disdain for Donald Trump.

“The nonreligious are now the largest voting bloc in the country and it is essential that they know where the candidates stand on these critical issues,” Larry Decker, SCA executive director stated.
“Critical issues” for those who deny the existence of God include the absolute separation of church and state, supporting abortion, promoting sex-ed school curricula, fighting “discrimination” against the “nonreligious,” and upholding modern “science.”
Atheists give Clinton the grade of “A” and Trump an “F” while criticizing Trump, who, as Decker says, “panders to the religious right.”
SCA identified as “nonreligious,” claiming they in today’s America, they represent the largest voting bloc in the nation.
A Pew Research poll shows that atheists support Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump by nearly a 3-to-1 margin (67 percent to 23 percent).
“Actually, the atheists had best temper their celebratory mood,” religion and culture expert Dr. Alex McFarland told LifeSiteNews. “The best research shows that there are 65 million to 80 million Christians who are voters — and perhaps over 100 million.”
“These Christian voters are known as ‘SAGECONS,’ which means, ‘Spiritually Active, Governance Engaged Conservatives,'” McFarland continued. “This group of Christian, patriotic, values-oriented voters — so often marginalized by the media and scoffed at by militant secularists — makes up a larger voting block than atheists, homosexuals, and Muslims combined.”
“And more than I’ve ever seen in my 25 years of ministry, these Christian conservative, Constitutionalist voters are getting engaged. Very much so,” he added.
