"::::*We should accurately describe his expressed views, per the title of that section. BLP, not BLPCAT, makes it crystal clear that we must be absolutely correct in any statements about living people. Since he has not directly expressed that he is an atheist, we need to be absolutely precise about what he has expressed. Not filling in a blank on a form does not make him an atheist. Refusing to trust in God because he doesn't accept our currency system does not make him an atheist. The enthusiasm to label him an atheist is politically-motivated POV-pushing. We must stick with verifiable and accurate descriptions of his expressed views as Loughner himself expressed them. I've seen this kind of point-scoring a million times here, e.g., ""Hitler was an atheist."" Most of the time it is much more complicated than that, and a BLP needs to be extremely accurate about this. Right-wing commentators have tagged him a ""left-wing pothead."" Liberals observed that so many people immediately connected Loughner to right-wing rhetoric. Saying he was right-wing or left-wing is as gross of an oversimplification as saying he was/is an atheist. It is a blatant violation of policy.
