CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA — Hillary Rodham Clinton, speaking at the University of Virginia this afternoon, gave a rare election year shout out to agnostics and atheists (presumably they’re a pretty Democratic crowd).
Asked about her faith by a student in Larry Sabato’s politics class, Clinton said, “I… believe totally in the separation of church and state.. I don’t think faith can provide all the answers — I think we were given the ability to reason… As president I’d be respectful of the many faith traditions in this country — or the lack of faith.”
