Gallup: 54% of Americans Would Vote for an Atheist for President

Maybe if we had an atheist for president then it wouldn't be so easy for America to be dragged into these religious wars we have been fighting. But if one were elected he or she would be dead before they could be sworn in office. It's funny how many people claim to be religious but they seem to forget the peace and love their prophets preached about and scream for blood over the smallest things.

It matters when that persons religious beliefs effect their ability to perform the job.
Example - If someone is stupid enough to believe that the world is only 6,000 years old ... then what other things are they extremely stupid with?

The United States was founded by believers in God. In fact George Washington proclaimed a covenant with God in a small stone church on the corner of what now is ground zero. In God we trust. Hope this helps you to understand why our values are intertwined with our faith.
Revelation 2:4-5:
Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place; unless you repent.
