So, stay in the closet, you filthy doctors,scientists,professors,engineers and captains of industry. The United States isn't ready to give up their fairy tales and openly admit critical thinkers who lead ethical,intelligent and successful lives into the fabric of their society.

Using the term 'non-believers' in that way almost makes it derogatory. Like the correct state of mind is to 'believe' or be a 'believer'. Al the rest are just non-believers.
I also agree Obama probably had to word it like that on purpose though. Would have lost a lot of voters and possibly funding to be more open or direct about it.
