I thought it was pretty clear that I was talking about those that label themselves atheists. Though, I can see where the confusion is.
Regardless, I'm guessing a lot of why we don't elect atheists is because there is no such thing as an atheist candidate, as everybody clings to a faith (in name, anyway).

FYI...
JFK was a Catholic, and is beloved by Americans, and respected by people around the globe.
Jimmy Carter is a Baptist, and is beloved by Americans, and respected by people around the globe.
Ronald Reagan was a Presbyterian, and is beloved by Americans, and respected by people around the globe.
Lyndon Baines Johnson was a Disciple of Christ, and save for the 'Vietnam' deal(not entirely his fault), he used his powers to help mend racial intolerance, and lessen the income-gap in America.
Yeah, those dudes were real intolerant, Bible-thumping assholes...

I wasn't responding to your post, or anyone's in particular, really. If I did, I'd have quoted you, or anyone else.
I merely put that out there before someone came ringing in that an Atheist leader would automatically be better than anyone who was religious in any way, and in shape or form. I doubt that'll happen, but hey, it's happened before.
And dude, you really ought to tone down the attitude a bit. It only turns this stuff into stupid flame wars.

That's unneeded ad hominem, were someone to make a similar to statement to you, you'd label it as such immediately.
At the same time, Starbuzz, in attacking religion so strongly, you just look like a zealot without a banner to stand under.
Renguard is a wonderful initiative

Supporters of Proposition 8 will argue California does not discriminate against gays, as the current law allows them to get married - as long as they wed a partner of the opposite sex.

It was obvious.

What is responsible for flame wars? My attitude or your inability to control yourself in posting references to my attitude? There are certain "games" I won't ever play nice but I keep it logical. If you still can't stop complaining, then I believe the problem is not on my side.

Nikki, he doesn't like music (or, REAL music, requiring the use of musical instruments). It explains why he's so tense.

I thought you were more mature than this. I was wrong. Very wrong.

If I was truly attacking religion, I wouldn't be taking a neutral stand by indirectly defending the religious by referring to the art school student suspension case.
If I was mindlessly attacking religion, then why would I bring up the art school case? I could have simply based all my arguments on Blazer's Fox news link and started basing my arguments from there. Instead, I gave a unbiased (but stern) view of the problem in the first part of my post while a zealot would have ignorantly jumped the gun.

And like I said before, my post was not directed at you, or anyone. I put it in there, because we always get crap from people saying Atheists should be in power, and claim that 'religious' people in power are intolerant assholes.
