I am a nonbeliever and I didn’t really mind the speech. I don’t want the president to pretend that he isn’t Christian, or pretend that many (most?) of the families directly affected by the tragedy aren’t Christian. It would, perhaps, be helpful if, in moments of great tragedy, nonbelievers and believers alike who suffer are acknowledged in some small way – just to keep reminding us that we are one nation – everyone included.
