It makes sense to me that there are athiests politicians who claim Christianity for political gain, knowing that being an open athiest could be political suicide.

What? That would mean they are lying for there own personal gain.

Come on man, do you really think a politician would do that?

Nice one Mafoo! Can we get a rimshot over here?

OT: I agree and disagree. I am currently not a christian, but I was raised one, and I think that a lot of the values I have have to have been influenced by that. I think that religion has a place in affecting a person's personal values (because, let's face it, lots of parents suck at that part). BUT, it shouldn't color the political decisions that a person makes. I realize it's going to be nearly impossible to separate the two, but the president is supposed to be above and beyond the average person. BUT, it is possible to be moral and athiest at the same time, my brohter in law was brought up athiest and he is a very moral person, he would literally give you the shirt off of his back. Which is almost more impressive than a christian doing so, because there is no threat of judgement by jeebus if he doesn't.

How about. . . decent people for president forever!
