You mean like 'standard leftie response'?
Hate? Take a chill-pill, John.
OK, let's look at the argument.
The article is headed, 'Three surprising Reasons why Democrats avoid Religion'.
Any evidence at all to back this up? Is there any source that can show us that Democrats are less likely to talk about God than Republicans?
Nothing presented.
Lacking evidence is a fundamental flaw in any attempt at 'reasoned argument'.
But even if you take the headline at face value as representing the point of the article, the writer goes on to say,... And yet many Democrats don’t talk about religion as an inspiration for political action. Sen. Coons says they avoid making public displays of religion for fear of alienating constituents. Indeed, the party has been so successful in turning religious fervor as a disqualification for effective action that many candidates dare not take the risk of mention God before men.
So, the more sweeping reference to 'Democrats' becomes 'some Democrats'.
Maybe there are there 'some Republicans' who 'don't talk about religion'?
Are we entitled to come to wider conclusions about Republicans?
No, if we want 'rational argument', we are not because it's speculation.
Beyond that, you can't talk about political parties' connection to religion without talking about ... you know ... Trump.
Trump is the Republican Party now. How often does he talk about God? Do his actions show a religious conviction? Is his presidency a counter-argument to the writer's assertion about Democrats?
(Hint: not very often, no and no)
