Well, geez, nobody's brought that up before. That's an excellent point--if he's been sitting in the pew for 20 years, that means he joined the church in his mid-20s. Fresh out of law school, working as an organizer, doing the most basic leg-work of politics.... You really think he envisioned a run at the presidency at that point, and was shrewd enough to know--twenty years ago, mind--that the country would have turned conservative enough that an atheist would be unelectable?

This is the guy who waved away presidency talk after his Convention keynote just four years ago. But 20 years ago, he made a tactical choice regarding his selection of a religion? Come ON.
