I'm just curious how many intelligent Christians would ever consider supporting an atheist for US president. What about other public offices, such as the senate? Would credentials matter? Or would a candidate's lack of faith in a supreme being preclude you voting for him/her regardless of qualifications? Thanks.

Why not running the goverment has nothing to do with religion

Fr_Chuck

Well to me many already do, since while some proclaim to be, with thier support of some issues they can not really be one.

But it is thier stand on issues, many of which are moral, but also include protection of America, giving back states rights, abortion, and other issues. But often the idea of issues and moral values are one and the same.

Post moved to religioius discussion since this is not really just a Christian issue but a religious issue

The leaders of the USSR, China, N. Korea, & Cuba were/are all Atheists. Not a very good recommendation.

while this is true, we have to look at their ability to lead, not just there religion. because there are some christians who i would definetly not want to be president, the same goes for the person who shares my beliefs. it is matter of how they can lead and how they have led.

Atheism is the official religion of Communism. It is a religion that viciously oppresses ALL other religions, calling them the "opiate of the masses". It is the religion that will not tolerate the mention of any other religion in the classroom in this country. I certainly do not want one of them anywhere near authority if it can be helped.

I can't even think of anyone to vote for, this certainly isn't the first time either. I need to pray, pray and pray some more before I vote for anyone.

Hate to be so negative, but I haven't seen a politician yet who won't lie to get the votes, and lying is a sin just like any other sin. But everyone sins. But if I knew they were an
atheist, I would never vote for them, never.

The leader of the US is a Christian. Not a very good recommendation.

Robert Mugabe is a Catholic.

So was Hitler!

so if you had someone who was christian but what he could do for you and your country was nothing you would rather vote for him than someone who clearly does not beleive in god
