That it has not only people who have no religious belief, but lots of people who do and who take that belief very seriously.

There are plenty of other groups, and some of them are quite good at what they do, but they also have an agenda of non-theism, but we don't have, you might say, a theology. We just have a commitment to the Constitution.
