The post makes three factual claims that are overwhelmingly false or misleading. Democrats are not atheistic—Pew Research shows roughly half identify as Christian and many others belong to various faiths. While the 2024 Democratic Party platform draft reportedly omitted the word 'God,' the 2020 platform included 'God-given potential,' and the 2012 platform was amended to restore the word after initial omission. The claim that Democratic leaders 'follow Allah' and 'bend their knee to radical Islam' is entirely baseless; Democratic leaders are predominantly Christian or Jewish.

✗ False
Democrats don't believe in GodPew Research Center's 2023-24 Religious Landscape Study found that approximately 51% of Democrats and Democratic leaners identify as Christian, with additional percentages identifying as Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, and other faiths. While Democrats have a higher share of religiously unaffiliated members than Republicans, the majority still identify with a religion.

Mixed
Democrats dropped the word 'God' from their party platformThis is a recurring talking point with a complicated history. The 2012 platform initially omitted 'God' but was amended by voice vote to include it after controversy. The 2020 platform included the phrase 'God-given potential' (confirmed by PolitiFact). Reports indicate the 2024 platform draft did not include the word 'God,' 'Lord,' or 'Almighty,' making the claim partially true for 2024 but misleading as a blanket statement about the party's platform history.

✗ False
Democratic leaders follow Allah and bend their knee to radical IslamThere is no evidence supporting this claim. Prominent Democratic leaders—including President Biden, Vice President Harris, Senate Majority Leader Schumer, and others—are Christian or Jewish. While the Democratic Party includes Muslim members and has taken positions condemning Islamophobia, the claim that party leaders 'follow Allah' or submit to 'radical Islam' is a baseless conspiracy theory with no factual basis.
Caveats
The 2024 platform claim relies on reporting from the Washington Times and a review of the platform text; I did not perform a full word-by-word search of the entire 2024 platform PDF. The religious affiliation data from Pew is based on self-identification and may not capture every individual's personal beliefs. The claim about leaders and Islam is so vague ('bend their knee to radical Islam') that it is difficult to address comprehensively, but no credible evidence supports any version of it.
Community note
False. Pew Research shows most Democrats identify as Christian or other faiths. While the 2024 platform draft omitted God, past platforms included it. Party leaders are predominantly Christian or Jewish, and claims they submit to radical Islam are baseless.
