It is interesting that, before Obama joined Jeremiah Wright's Church in the late 1980s, we do not really know what his religious beliefs were, or whether he had any. Was his mother a Christian? Is anybody aware of whether he was baptized in any church, in his youth?

Yes. I am a non-believer myself, although I am generally supportive of the Jewish and Christian faiths.

Yes. I would rather have a conservative atheist, like SE Cupp, than a Marxist faux-Christian like Obama.

We can well assume his ‘religious’ beliefs were formed by those who mentored him in his youth and those would be Muslims and communists. Leftism is a religion; and shares many commonalities with with radical Islam.It is such a fit. . .as was Wrights ‘Nation of Islam’ cloaked in Christian clothes.

I vote for an atheist over a muslim.
Also, it depends on what type of atheist he/she was. Was it an atheist who respected Christians? Or was it one of those atheists who belittled everything Christian?

Although I disagree with Organized Religion in general, I still believe. No, I would not vote for an atheist.

Ayn Rand, one of the greatest speakers on the issue of individual rights and probably the greatest defender of capitalism, was an atheist.

An “Atheist” “Representative” would be the same thing as a “Pro-Life” Democrat. Neither one could ever represent me. Both are oxymorons.

If this was a man having a consistent long term history of support for conservative ideals without showing any need to bash on religion (Nat Hentoff comes to mind), the US could probably do far worse than that.
But just curious, why?

Odumbo’s religious beliefs before he was elected are the same as they are now, he believes in marxism and is a communist.
As to the original question as to whether or not I would vote for an atheist if I agreed on their policies, the answer is “yes”.
Odumbo and his marxists beliefs are not atheistic, they are ANTI-theistic. There is a big difference between saying that there is no God (atheistic=foolish) and that there is no God and you cannot have a belief in God (anti-theistic=evil).

The Wright church was about revolutionary politics dressed as religion.
Obama and family do not attend church. Media protects this PR faux paux like they do all things for O. I can’t recall a president that did not attend church.
He is a creature of ego, not faith.

The Declaration of Independence is our nation's founding document, and in addition to listing specific grievances against the King of England, it expresses the broader philosophical construct upon which this nation was built. IMHO, it is impossible for one to deny the existence of a higher power and support this nation's entire
raison d'être.
That's not to say this nation does not support an athiest's right to belive as they so choose, but in order to believe that's in and of itself an inalienable right, one must believe that there is a "giver of rights" that transcends individual humans and collective human endeavors.
