Would you vote for an atheist? (Now with POLL)

[QUOTE="cukoo"]Why would I want someone who doesn't believe in God leading this country? Someone that is letting God lead his or her life is going to make better decisions than someone that isn't letting God guide his or her life. All we need is a president that will take away religious freedoms and persecute those that believe in God. Is that what you all want? If you don't believe in God then that's your choice, but an athiest will certainly not make a good president due to the fact that this person will make decisions based on public pressures and feelings. They won't know how to discern a situation and ask God to help them make the best decision. That's the difference between an athiest and someone who believes and follows God.Solid_Snake325

The crusades were a good decision? An atheist would not have gone to war.

Well the problem is, god dosnt answer back.

Yeah, he left that part out.

Every person is different, so do you really wanna base important decisions on a belief where the outcome is different from person to person?

The Enlightenment ideals for which the United States is based on were driven by many people who were deists, people who believe God played no part in this universe, and thereby set to introduce natural laws and self-determination into governance.

Thomas Jefferson was one such person and was the third president of the United States. Many secular and non-religious politicians in Europe also seem to have no problems governing.

its challenging to me to believe that nothing created everything.

I meant having a firm belief in Christianity can be a major factor in good leadership, it's about how strongly you believe in Christianity, not how much God is talking to you or what He's saying. Leadership involves believing what's best for the followers or the country, so you would be concerned with guiding the country by its biblical roots as the founding fathers did. Protecting human rights, not tolerating communism or terrorism in other countries, upholding justice, etc.Solid_Snake325

America was not meant to be a biblically correct country. It's roots are in freedom of religion, speech, etc.

You cannot explain what created the universe so you make up something above that that you also cannot explain. What is the difference?
