This is America correct? Land of the free? All men are created equal?
It’s true you learn something new everyday. Today I learned I am more thankful than ever for what our Founding Fathers did for us.
I had no idea that there are states within the US whose Constitutions actually contain language prohibiting an atheist from running for public office. North Carolina and South Carolina are such states. Luckily… such discrimination can’t hold up in the court of law.

About Woody Bass
Woody Bass is a freelance blogger who writes about politics, current events and generally anything he finds ignorant, stupid or totally out of line. There is nothing he wont say or write about so long as it is the truth and what he truly believes - with a few smartass remarks thrown in for good measure. Smart ass is what Woody does best. Don’t go looking for any extreme “right” or “leftist” thinking though. Woody is able to step back, look at the “big picture” and provide a moderate/centrist observation on the matter.
Woody was formerly a blogger for the Atlanta Journal Constitution - Gwinnett News for 3 years. http://www.ajc.com/yournorcross
Woody was born in Orlando, Florida and moved to Atlanta, Georgia in 1986. He is a ‘rabid Gator fan’ and loves nothing more than to annoy as many fans of “that team from Athens, Ga” as possible.
