  11. Speaking of presidential quotations, I read one on the net several years
  12. ago attributed to George Bush.  It sounded kinda outlandish so I was
  13. skeptical about it, but intrigued nonetheless.  It was allegedly spoken
  14. at a press conference, when the president was making some connection
  15. between religion and patriotism (the good kind, not the kind being tossed
  16. about recently on this group :^), and was asked if he didn't consider the
  17. patriotism of atheists to be just as valid as that of religious people.
  18. It went something like this:
  19.  
  20.     "No, I don't think atheists should be considered patriots, or
  21.         even citizens.  This is one nation under God."
  22.  
  23. Does anyone know if he really said this, or something similar?
