I know the question wasn't directed at me, but I'd like to chime in. I'd actually say I'd be more likely to vote for an atheist (not a real 'preachy' one, just an open one). I'm just sick of these evangelical conservatives pushing their moral ideals on the populace. Nothing against you good old fiscal conservatives, I wish there were more of you :lol:.So to send a question back to you, would you be less likely to vote for a president who didn't believe in God?
This reminds me of Machiavelli's, "The Prince" ... and I can't find my copy. But there is something in there about how, whether or not they are religious, it's good for a politician to be seen going to church, saying, "God Bless X" etc etc. Shows people you have faith in something larger than yourself. Man, I'm going to have to go buy that again.
Also, this is a little off-topic, but I was just thinking of how few "family men(/women)" we see in politics here. It's like you have to have a spouse and kids to get public office.
