     RS: "Mr. President, what will you do to win the votes of Americans
          who are Atheists?"
     GB: "I guess I'm pretty weak in the atheist community.  Faith in
          God is pretty important to me."
     RS: "Surely you recognize the equal citizenship and patriotism of
          Americans who are atheists?"
     GB: "No, I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens,
          nor should they be considered patriots.  This is one nation under
          God."
