<p>" Emphasizing her own Christian faith and quoting frequently from the Bible, Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton wooed a U.S. evangelical conference on AIDS on Thursday with a pledge to fight the global pandemic together. </p>

<p>Clinton was the only one of six invited presidential candidates to attend a meeting on the role of the evangelical church in fighting AIDS, hosted by the influential Saddleback Valley Community Church in Southern California.</p>

<p>“I know the power of faith and of people of faith,” Clinton said to warm applause. “Together I believe we can write the next chapter in this history. It is a proud and grace-filled history.”</p>

<p>I’m sure many people will be happy she did this.</p>

<p>Are there any atheists running? :)</p>

<p>dstark: No atheists who will reveal it publicly, since atheism is probably the worst personal characteristic someone running for elected office can have - it’s even worse, statistically, than being gay.</p>

<p>I really wish someone were - I get very tired very quickly of the continual trumpeting of how religious everyone is. Give it a break, already.</p>
