It wasn't directed at you or anyone else who reads and comments regularly. It was the random surfers googling "I don't like Obama" looking for somebody to school. In other words, trolls.

I like your statement about religious and non-religious people agreeing on policy- I don't think that should be a problem and hope that occurs already.
