Would you ever vote for an atheist president?
The only thing he is lacking is belief in things that he/she has no evidence of. Other peoples beliefs and books written by people of faith do not count as evidence to an atheist.
Other than that he is as knowledgeable, if not more, than his opponent.

no, people need to believe in something to lead

What? "The only thing he is lacking is belief in things that he/she has no evidence of." What the hell is that supposed to mean? You can apply that same statement to people of all faiths. You don't need to have evidence of something to believe/disbelieve it. If you had evidence, it wouldn't be a belief, it would be a fact. As for the statement that that...I'm not going to dignify that with a response...that's just stupid.

George W. Bush for all intents and purposes is an athiest. That he was converted by Billy Graham on the eve of the election shows that instantaneous conversions are false, for if the conversion had took, we wouldn't be aggravating middle east tensions with 90 day wonders or in layman terms, National Guard men and women.

I'd rather vote for an atheist candidate like the late Carl Sagan than a Christian candidate like Dubya. Anyone who plans to combine religion with politics will never get my vote.

Most of what I know about atheists I have learned on the internet.
Based on that, no, I would not vote for an atheist prez.
Bad enough my kids can't pray in school as it is. Left up to an atheist prez, they wouldn't be praying in church, either.

i am a atheist... i would deff. vote for one... sometimes as a leader the right decisions aren't what you would personally do... a leader has to separate his faith and his job... if there is no faith then it wouldn't be a question of where your loyalties lie... right now i cant seen one being voted in as president... people are strongly against it... and hold faith to be important

I vote for the person not their religion. But an atheist in the US has little to no shot of winning office.

Lots of great Christians used to be atheists. In my experience, it seems easier for God to convert a smart atheist than enlighten a stupid Christian. Maybe, maybe not. Maybe I'll pray about it when the time comes.

Religion--or lack thereof--doesn't have much bearing on who I vote for. I vote for those whom with I agree on issues. If the candidate that matched my views on issues was an atheist (or a religion different from mine), it wouldn't matter to me. I'd still vote for him/her.

No, the bible says ,the people rejoice when the righteous are in authority, but when the unrighteous rule, the people are sad. This is rephrased, but the same meaning.
