The Democratic National Committee (DNC) passed a resolution Saturday praising the values of “religiously unaffiliated” Americans as the “largest religious group within the Democratic Party.”
The resolution, which was unanimously passed at the DNC’s summer meeting on Aug. 24 in San Francisco, Calif., was championed by the Secular Coalition of America, an organization that lobbies on behalf of atheists, agnostics, and humanists on public policy. The group celebrated the DNC’s move as the first time a major party “embraced American nonbelievers.”
“Religiously unaffiliated Americans overwhelmingly share the Democratic Party’s values,” said the resolution, which adds they should advocate for “rational public policy based on sound science and universal humanistic values.”
Sarah Levin, director of governmental affairs for the Secular Coalition of America, praised it as a way “to ensure that policy is driven by science and evidence, not sectarian beliefs.”
The move comes as Democratic presidential candidates have ramped up their religious rhetoric on the campaign trail, but the party announced it is targeting “nonreligious voters” to try to beat President Trump, who solidified the evangelical vote in 2016. …

universal humanistic values.How does one define that one is not a believer? Of course, what they mean is based on the fumes of Judeo-Christianity.

Perhaps the greatest challenge in 2020 is to demonstrate to the American people just how far Left and alien the Democratic Party has become. Most Americans do not realize just how debased it is and what would happen to the American nation and people if they and their globalist acolytes took rel power.

Sounds exactly like the USSR.
“Atheism is a natural and inseparable part of Marxism, of the theory and practice of scientific socialism.”As it says in Jeremiah 13:23, the leopard does not change his spots.
— Lenin, “Religion”, Introduction
“The teaching of hatred for the enemies of the toilers enriches the concept of socialist humanism, by distinguishing it from sugary and hypocritical ‘philanthropy’.”
— Small Soviet Encyclopedia (Moscow, 1947, vol. XI, p. 1045)

"universal humanistic values.”Which would include the humanistic values of Mao, Stalin and Pol Pot.

I am a little skeptical of the document that the article links to.
https://secular.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/DNC-Resolution-on-the-Nonreligious-Demographic.pdf
There is only the text of the resolution, no header/footer information, no date or logos, no proposer, seconder or any other details other than “DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE:” across the top.
It might be accurate but it does not look like it is an original document.

“unanimously passed at the DNC’s summer meeting“
Just like Sodom, not one righteous person could be found.

Strangely enough, it appears to be a modified form of this resolution apparently adopted by the Massachusetts Democratic Party.

Bernie no longer feels the need to pretend he’s not a Democrat.
The Squad only differs from the rest in that they no longer feel the need to hide who they are.
The thing is, the DEMOCRAT VOTER is preconditioned to not care. This has happened over the decades before even Bill Clinton ran, bit by bit they’ve been conditioned to only care about the seriousness of the charges if it’s Republicans being charged.
For everything else it’s like Gore once said: no controlling authority....

Just like Sodom, not one righteous person could be found.I get your point, but there were 4 righteous people that were found.
There was Lot, his wife and two daughters. They were the only people in the entire city who were righteous and God saw to it they left before the city was demolished.
But after departing the city, Lot’s wife looked back in hesitation and regret and she became a pillar of salt.
