Cupp, stated that "Obama delivered another slight to religious America when he became the first president in the history of the United States to mention atheists." Cupp being herself and having mentioned it to others, an atheist. Josh Rosenau responded, "First, it isn't a slight to religious people to indicate that there are also non-religious Americans. Cupp being one of those non-religious Americans, she should have appreciated the acknowledgment. But no, she feels slighted on behalf of the religious Americans who were not, themselves, feeling slighted. And she throws in a readily checked falsehood for good measure."
