Our party leadership is two generations behind those leading the shift towards areligion. I'm not sure they entirely appreciate the magnitude of the shift, or if they're just afraid that appealing to a younger generation of staunch secularists will offend the older, more traditionalist Democrats. In any event, whenever politicians are forced to choose between hanging onto the old or investing in the young, they usually side with the old. I'd like to see the Party truly embrace its most reliable voters, but I get the sneaking suspicion they're going to keep us in the shadows until the Boomers exit stage left.
