Old Town Alexandria, Northern Virginia — Jogging through this gorgeous, historic town the first Saturday after the Tuesday vote, which elected the most leftist presidential candidate in American history, it isn't difficult to see how the typically Republican state of Virginia went Democrat in 2008. The sheer volume of "Obama-Biden" signs in the windows of BMWs and million-dollar townhouses is stunning, surpassed only by dogs on leashes — and in direct contrast to the conspicuous lack of children. Likewise, the bumper stickers on Lexuses on cobblestone streets offer a tutorial on the force of liberal migration to Northern Virginia. They shout out a visceral hatred of George W. Bush — plus much more. As I ventured closer to the DC border, one particular bumper sticker caught my eye: "I'm Pagan and I Vote."
That, too, is telling — and worthy of careful consideration, especially given its failure to register among the press. Once again, in this presidential election, non-religious Americans came out in large numbers, and again cast ballots overwhelmingly for the Democratic nominee. As these citizens become more bold and vocal — evidenced by the spate of bestselling atheistic books in the last few years — they can no longer be ignored.

I was confused by your mention of a pagan bumper sticker then a seeming non-sequiter to "non-religious people." I'm guessing the owner of this vehicle was a neo-pagan celebrating an earth-centered spirituality of some stripe. Pagans are often deeply religious people. And yes, we do vote.
However, that doesn't necessarily take away from your ultimate point ;)
