<b>Obama's Nonbeliever Nod Unsettles Some</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Parshall noted that atheists were celebrating the unexpected mention, and indeed they were: "In his inaugural address … President Barack Obama did what many before him should have done, rightly citing the great diversity of America as part of the nation's great strength, and including 'nonbelievers'’ in that mix,’" said Ed Buckner of American Atheists.

"His mother would have been proud,"’ Buckner said, referring to the fact that Obama’s mother was not a church-goer. "And so are we."

Jackson said he and others have no problem acknowledging that "this country is one in which everybody has the freedom to think what they want.’" <b>Yet Obama crossed the line, in his view, in suggesting that all faiths (and none) were different roads to the same destination: </b>"He made similar remarks in the campaign, and said,<b> 'We are no longer a Christian nation, if we ever were. We are a Jewish, Hindu and non-believing nation.'"</b>

Not so, Jackson says: "Obviously, Jewish heritage is very much a part of Christianity; the Jewish Bible is part of our Bible. But Hindu, Muslim, and nonbelievers? I don't think so. We are not a Muslim nation or a nonbelieving nation."’<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
