While the leftist media attempts to make a story out of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s refusal to play the “gotcha” game regarding the utterly irrelevant question of his opinion on President Obama’s faith, one of the biggest voices on the left, Bill Maher, has no problem questioning the faith of 2016 presidential hopeful Jeb Bush.

In a blog post Tuesday titled “Jeb Bush: Convenient Catholic?," Maher, an outspoken atheist, questioned the sincerity of Jeb Bush’s conversion to Catholicism, suggesting it came rather conveniently before his successful run for governor of Florida, a state where Catholic voters hold a slight lead on Evangelicals (26/25%). Saying that the Bushes "play election hardball," Maher also worked in a few cynical jabs at George W. Bush's Protestantism.

Here’s Maher’s post:

Did you know Jeb Bush is Catholic? Neither did I. He certainly doesn’t let it get in the way – like when he used the Church’s belief in the sanctity of life as cover for dicking around with Terri Schiavo, but didn’t let it prevent him from executing 21 guys. Anyway, whatever it was that Poppy and Bar believed around the house, it’s not something that rubbed off on the kids.

Now, lots of swell leaders have changed faiths. Constantine, Newt Gingrich... George W. had a good reason to switch: Billy Graham told him an extra-strength God could keep him off the sauce. But Jeb Bush converted to Catholicism in 1996 – 22 years after marrying his Mexican-born wife, Columba, – and conveniently between the first time he ran for governor (and lost) and the second time he ran, and won. The Bushes play election hardball, but they also play the margins. They look for every little edge. So is there something to this?

W. became an Evangelical Protestant and coincidentally ran for Governor of Texas, where voters are 34% Evangelical Protestant / 24% Catholic.

Jeb noticed his wife was Catholic after 22 years, and ran for Governor of Florida, where the voters are 26% Catholic / 25% Evangelical Protestant.

The voters in both states were only 15 percent mainline Protestant, the faith with which Bush children come originally installed. Now, of course, who am I to question God’s power to work wondrous change? I’m just saying the Bush boys tend to believe in whatever juju the locals do.

Maher frequently questions the sincerity of politicians’ religious beliefs. A number of times in the past, Maher has said that he does not believe Obama is actually religious, at one point last year calling the president a “drop dead atheist.” Still waiting on the outrage from Maher’s friends on the left for that one…
