It's Time America Had an Atheist President (solution, elect, vote)

[Scooby Snacks]

Why not? It's obvious religion isn't the solution to America's problems. Atheism isn't the cause of America's problems, either. Yet atheists are still viewed with deep suspicion. Sometimes they are even thought of as lacking a moral center. Would you vote for someone who seemed like the best candidate overall and was an atheist? If not, why not?

As a Pagan I’m all for it I’m tired of people using God/religion as a way to get into office.

I think religion slows down mankind. I understand the purpose that it helps make insecure people or people going through scary/hard times feel better (the need for parental love and protection doesn't end just because you turn 18).

I wonder how many candidates say they are religious but they really are not.

Trump is 100% not religious, lol, he just pretends to be. He couldn’t name a single bible verse when asked.

i dont care what religion a president is, even atheist, as long as they dont try to set up a caliphate.

As long as they didn't denigrate religious folks and religion like many atheists do (they pick fights, if you will . . . religious folks tend to frown down upon atheists too, but they generally aren't in your face about it or the ones picking fights about it) and as long as they still hold similar values/morals as I do, then sure.
