re: Was not Jimmy Carter born again?
Jimmy Carter certainly was but he often and loudly stated that his beliefs did not supercede his constitutional mandates and spoke earnestly of the separation of church and state.
As an atheist there's always the air of suspicion about "born agains" since we're often in their targets but in Carter's case I've never had more respect for an individual and would welcome him with open arms into my circle of friends and family.
