Atheism is Non-Partisan

Minnesota Atheists recently hosted a candidate forum for those running for Governor, US Senate, US House of Representatives, Secretary of State, and Attorney General. We invited all candidates to answer the following question at the forum, either themselves or an official campaign representative authorized to speak on their behalf: "How will your personal views on religion be separated from how you administer our secular government?" Our opening speaker was Evan Stewart, a doctoral candidate in the department of sociology at the University of Minnesota. His dissertation work examines the political impact of the growing non-religious population in the United States.

We wanted to test the draw of the secular voter that has been on the rise in the past number of years. We encourage candidates from across the political spectrum to attend, as atheism is non-partisan, from the most liberal of liberal to the most conservative of conservative...atheism is not tied to any political ideology.
