As the president said:

{I strongly suggest that you publish the entire script, not a transcript, of the president’s eulogy for pastor Pinckney}
One need not become a “godder” or be “born again” to get religion, so to speak. You only need to accept that there is something unseen, unheard, but felt, that exerts a positive influence on the way people think and act. Even a confirmed atheist can sense it. No definition is needed, no ritual, no identifiable verbiage. It is just a feeling of connectedness with the rest of mankind. And seeing how the people of that Charleston church have reacted to an unspeakably horrible event inspires me to think a kind of “religion” will find its way into the hearts of many wouldn’t be caught dead in a regular church.
