Yes but will they re-elect one?
54% of the people voted for a Black, Muslim, Communist, Gay, Atheist.
I’d love to see the breakdown on this question between regular run-of-the-mill atheists and proselytizing “new” atheists.
I think a lot more people would be willing to vote for someone who says “I don’t believe in God, but hey, believe what you want”, than a guy who says “I don’t believe in God, and if you do, you’re a moron”.
Yeah, but would they vote for a proctologist?
The thread directly beneath this one when I clicked on this link was a quote from a retiring Dem congressman: “The people have gotten dumber”. I think he may well be right, especially after reading this article. They certainly were in 2008.
For a novel idea lets vote in a guy who has the qualifications to be a good President of the U.S.
I think a lot of people wouldn’t tell the truth on a poll like this because their honest answers wouldn’t be considered politically correct.
Case in point...have you noticed what has happened to JC Penny since their new marketing tactics pushing the Homosexual agenda.
People aren’t going to put themselves out there for something like this. Obviously, they voted for a black/white guy that “could speak well”. The rest is of this poll is an open question as far as I am concerned.

Just for the record. I’m not running.
POTUS is a policy position, not a clerical one. If an Atheist was running for President, not making his blind faith an issue, I might vote for him depending on how he stacked up against the alternatives.
However, I would never knowingly vote for an Atheist to be the pastor of a church...although perhaps I might have to rethink that in regard to Obama’s old church...
Me vote for atheist? I think I’ll pass, Tovarishch.
I certainly would. Skepticism is a good trait in a politician. At least you know the person is being honest and not just throwing spiritual red meat to the evangelicals.
