In a democracy 51% of the population oppress the remaining 49%, but in a Republic each town, county, and state is free to decide its own laws. Since Christians make up the majority of the population, they should want a democracy, and since atheists make up a slim percent of the population they should want a Republic where they could have their own little strongholds. They cannot have this in a democracy.
Do you follow? Personally I am a Jeffersonian Republican (a true Republican). Modern Republicans are like Lincoln... nationalist pigs, not much different then democrats. But still, if I (as a Christian) wanted to have my way for everything I would push for democracy since my brethren make up a majority. Atheists in a democracy cannot do much until they make up a large percent of the population, hence they should be Republicans.
Jefferson and I are very different in matters of religion, but close when it comes to politics. Separation of Church and State and such.
