Hear hear, Abe. I cringe whenever I see that GWB quote about atheists not being patriots (which I notice is also on that site). But soundbytes are a lot easier than critical thinking, nobody is immune, and that's probably why they are more popular.

It was George H.W. Bush to which that is attributed. Do you have a debunking of that one?

Oh! I did not know that. Thanks for the clarification.

The burden of proof is on those who make the claim that he did say it. I have yet to see any compelling evidence of that.
