There is a difference between the 2. Then I guess we would have to have Kerry refer to himself as a humanist.
Bush is clear on his religious beleifs, he does not hide from them.
The reality is in the United States in 2004 people are more comfortable with a bible thumber, then a international liberal humanist. That is why Kerry does well on the coasts and in urban areas.... Fortunately most of the "fly-over" space in the US still beleives in God.

See, I think the term liberal has become a pejorative through it's negative use.
"How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must)"
"Saving America from the Liberal Assault on Our Schools, Faith, and Military"
"How Gay Activists and Liberal Judges Are Trashing Democracy"
This has happened in other times and places. In the nineteenth century in some european countries for example.
I wonder if Bush would call himself "right-wing".
You are liberal in many ways Mike, but you wouldn't call yourself that. ;-)
