President Ronald Reagan's son had a lot of people talking during Tuesday night's Democratic debate.<\/p>\n

He wasn't among the 12 candidates on the stage in Ohio, but his appearance in a commercial promoting atheism clearly caught folks off guard.<\/p>\n

In the commercial, Reagan promotes the Freedom from Religion Foundation, a non-profit organization advocating for atheists and the separation of church and state.<\/p>\n

\"Hi, I'm Ron Reagan, an unabashed atheist, and I'm alarmed by the intrusion of religion into our secular government,\" Reagan says to begin in the ad. <\/p>\n

The ad itself isn't new, as the foundation's press release notes its been around since at least 2014, but how Reagan ends the ad is certainly attention grabbing. <\/p>\n

\"Please support the Freedom From Religion Foundation. Ron Reagan, lifelong atheist, not afraid of burning in hell.\"<\/p>\n

With the spot airing in a national slot, Ron Reagan quickly became the top trending search on Google, according to Google Trends.<\/p>\n

According to the FFRF, ABC refused to air the ad during the Sept. 12 Democratic debate and other networks have turned them down, including CBS and NBC, since 2014.<\/p>\n

CNN plans to air the ad twice during the Oct. 15 CNN\/New York Times debate and it was scheduled to air again several times on Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n

The ad received lots of reactions on social media with some people feeling blindsided, including Omarosa, who appeared on \"The Apprentice\" with President Donald Trump then joined his administration.<\/p>\n

Some conservatives shared the ad to criticize Democrats.<\/p>\n

The rest is here:
