Here, we present two opinions within the Secular Community that begin to show the diversity that exists among religious nonbelievers with respect to the upcoming election. We hope to include more views as they are submitted. If you would like to express your opinion in a well-written article to be included in this section, please submit your work to The Secular Web for consideration.

His task is to demonstrate repeatedly and in depth that not only the emperor but even the "democratic" State has no clothes; that all governments subsist by exploitive rule over the public; and that such rule is the reverse of objective necessity. He strives to show that the existence of taxation and the State necessarily sets up a class division between the exploiting rulers and the exploited ruled. He seeks to show that the task of the court intellectuals who have always supported the State has ever been to weave mystification in order to induce the public to accept State rule and that these intellectuals obtain, in return, a share in the power and pelf extracted by the rulers from their deluded subjects.
