This administration is unarguably the most Christian theocratic administration in recent memory. What should those of us who are not believers learn about the faith from these rulers?

Forgive me if the word "theocratic" was vague.
It means trying to implement the rule of God over a country, as opposed to the rule of law.
Neither Carter nor Clinton were theocratic, whereas GW Bush is.

That politicians will exploit a core community if they think that community will vote for them. Who knows if Bush is against gay marriage or abortion or supports the enforcement of prayer in school? All he cares about is whether or not people who will vote for him and his cushion-the-rich political ideas believe in those things, and will enable him to cling on to power a little longer if he pays lip service to those ideas. So I suppose it proves to non-Christians that Christians, whether they are presidents of America or not, are hypocrites.

What should you learn about faith from Bush? That all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. you should learn that man will always dissapoint you because we live in a fallen world
The only person who will never dissapoint you is Jesus. If we all looked to other men for our spiritual guidance, we would all be in bad shape. Hope that helps.

The Bush Administration needs to learn that they are not GOD. They pick and choose their 'beliefs', and only become 'Christian' when it's a benefit for them. They worship power and oil, and give Christians everywhere a bad name.
Bush also typifies an ignorant American.

Nothing! Because George Bush is not a Christian!
So do not judge Christians by his actions because many of us deplore his deeds!
If he took the Skull & Bones oath in college then I would say he is not a Christian.
James 5:12 2 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
Matthew 7:16-17 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
Just because he says he follows god does not mean that he follows the God of the Bible, Yehway!
1 John 5:19 … the whole world is under the control of the evil one.

To pray and go to church and meet with Christian leaders as well as your white house advisers. try to obey the 10 commandments and help the oppressed if possible. I know you cant help everyone. To try to stop fanatics from blowing up the world with nukes, for a start. Don't go on MTV to to to garner votes and don't lower your standards to have illicit sex with other women. I'm sure there is much more, but that's a start.

It's hard to answer a question that is so incorrect. The administration is not Christian, the President is. As have been most American Presidents.
And what should Atheists learn from the administration? It doesn't really matter, since according to their beliefs, when they die they no longer exist. I'll just wait for then.

Bush is the only president in recent history not to have a home church. He doesn't attend church. Clinton and Carter did. Carter taught Sunday School. Rethink your thesis.
Look, Bush panders the religious vote. That doesn't make him representative of anything. Clinton pandered the minority vote. That doesn't make him anything, either.

We can learn that they are bigoted against anyone who does not believe as they do. They are trying to change our government to make it a theocratic (Christian) government. They are the scariest thing that has happened to America.
People from other countries do not like Bush as he is trying to cram his type of government and religion down their throats. They should realize we, in America, fear what they are doing to us, and have alot of anger and hate for them.

Thout shalt not kill
Thou shalt not lie
Thou shalt not follow false CIA and FEMA prophets
Thou shalt honor thy father and not second guess him about Saddam
Thou shalt learn that thy press secretary checked ever fact 10 times and it is indeed the LIBRARY TOWER and not some fictional LIBERTY TOWER you thought it should be, because why would the TALLEST building be called somethng silly like the LIBRARY TOWER
