“If said politician is athiest, I don’t agree with his policies.”

Hit the nail on the head: an atheist, by definition, cannot have the same values as a religious person (in my case, Christian); therefore, I couldn’t support one in a position of leadership. At its core, every decision stems from the ingrained values of the decider.

Thanks for your service.

My state (West Virginia) is chock full of Christians whose faith I believe is sincere. They are staunchly pro-life, pro-military, pro-God in the schools.

Yet they elect socialist Democrats, year after year, unable to resist the siren song of that gubmint cheese.

Are their values more, or less, in line with yours than those of an atheist conservative??

Exactly. How he would he reconcile the fact that our Constitution holds that our freedom is granted by God, with his non-belief in God? Where, in that case, would he believe that our freedom stems from? Not the state, certainly-then who or what?

“an atheist, by definition, cannot have the same values as a religious person”

How so? My very high values and morals and principles do not stem from any religion.
