Umm are you serious? Yes, and they are the majority of the time. In fact I would bet an openly Athiest person could not be elected in the US.

Er.... most are openly Christian. You practically can't get elected in the United States without some reference to a belief in the Judeo-Christian God.

You must not live in the Bible belt. In many areas in the Bible Belt, especially rural areas every candidate is openly a Christian. And this is true of every political party.
I am not making this up but is an often occurance.

Many Outwardly Christian politicians have been elected to public office. Including that guy who sent pornographic e-mails to under-age page boys.

A better question is... could a non-Christian ever be elected president? We've only even had one Catholic president. Being ostentatiously Christian is practically a prerequisite for US politics.

I have some real doubts about that. If he started out as one he most likely will not remain one
many manipulate the usage of saying they are one for apeal, but that is not the same

Most Presidents have been Christians, or at least they said they were.
