and in every respect aside from religion, the atheist is clearly the best choice, would you still vote for the Christian?
Why?

The bible teaches christians to stone those that do not believe in the lord. (1 Kings 21, Deuteronomy 21 and 22, Leviticus 20 and 24). So by their own teachings they would be putting themselves at risk for voting for an Atheist president.

I would vote for the best qualified, but considering that our values and morals can bias our decisions, I would really have to think of the long term possibilities for either a Christian or an atheist.
It's all subjective, an atheist may think their atheist candidate is best qualified and a Christian might not think so and the other way around is true as well.
Good question...

Not a chance. The religious right is what got Bush in the second time. For more info on Christian versus Atheist check this out:

Baha'i Faith is the only religion I know of that is 'all' inclusive, meaning they accept everyone and don't do the 'If your not with us you're against us routine' which makes most if not all religions seem to be based on fear. My Dad is Jewish and my Mom Catholic so I was never really accepted by either.

God i'm hoping you probably did no longer vote.... please do no longer..... you are able to desire to get extra powerful knowledgeable than what you exhibit..... in my view if I observed a some one professing to be a real Christian and doing as you describe, i could vote against them certainly... no between the authentic Christian faith could recommend any action that could convey approximately any style of theocracy..... An atheist with a ethical, trustworthy, with genuine understanding of the motive of The shape of the u . s . a ...... and who had easily examined that.... may be the suitable candidate for president.... this variety of you are able to truly act for ALL voters and have not have been given any very own schedule....... regrettably we've never had this variety of guy interior the White residing house

Religion should not be considered when choosing a president. If the atheist was a person of moral standing and was better qualified to lead then I would vote for them.

while I am not Christian I can admit that religion would play a small factor if only to judge the candidates character.
though if the atheist was clearly the one that most agreed with my political views then yes I would not hesitate to vote for and support him/her.

Religion should not be a factor. Best experience for the job should win, hands down. It's the way any other job is decided, why not the presidency?

If the person is a true Christian, full of the Spirit, wisdom and favor of God I will definitely vote for him as president. Character is of more value than ability and what better character than one who is like Jesus.

I don't vote.
I stopped voting after Reagan won, because I voted for the other guy and HIS MOTHER voted for Reagan, she had to, he didn't even win his own state!
