My point was somewhat satirical. The speech was a pretty good one if all I can nit-pick is just two words.
However, that speech was largely symbolic and for that reason, I believe it was poor judgment to label the 60 million Americans who describe themselves as having 'no religion' as "non-believers".
That term is dismissive and inaccurate. Frankly everyone is a "non-believer" because none of us believe in all religions at the same time. It's impossible to do so because religions are so often contradictory in their content.
FWIW I do agree with your point about continued deficit spending in the US. It is harmful to the nation in the long run and there has been zero leadership displayed by anyone about how it can be resolved.
