I was atheist for about six years, too. My oldest brother is still an atheist. I was not raised in a strict religious home, but I plan to raise my children with religious principles and more so than my parents did me. However, I do not need to know a politicians religous beliefs so an atheist would be possible if they keep it in the closet and support religious people and their freedoms. |
That is a funny pov. Why do you think an Atheist wouldn't let you be religious? See, Atheism is not a religion. It's the lack of one. It has no book or commands that say to eradicate others and it's not dangerous in any way (maybe prone to mocking others, but that is freedom of speech is it not?).
I find it strange how you seem concerned about Religious concerns, but not the needs of atheists. Isn't that beeing parcial?
Ultimately beeing religious or not is not a requirement to be a good polititian. But, i would say an Atheist is way more qualified for the job, just because of his/her's pragmatism.
But, the country that elected Trump doesn't have many quality requirements on who it chooses. Thankfully not every nation sells the office that easily.
Credit to those that just like Al gore in 2000 made their best for that not to be the case though.
