I mean an atheist who owns up to it.
We've probably had several presidents who were at least agnostics if not atheists. Clinton, GHWB, Reagan, Nixon, LBJ, Kennedy (?), Eisenhower (?). Most of them, now that I think about it.

It should be an absolute certainty and in a sane world it would be.

The Clinton's have always been devout Christians.
Ask W to recite a scripture. LOL. Jim Beam was his prophet.
Yes an athiest can be our President. I'm rooting for a a Bhuddist.
Edit: I think we had one in Thomas Jefferson.

Conceivable yes. Probable, no.
But the ONLY requirements are that you be at least 35, a natural-born citizen and have lived here for at least 14 years.
No more. No less.

You betcha'!!
It would be a benefit if politics weren't mixed with religion the way it often is today, or if the President didn't feel the need to take sides based on his or her beliefs.

Right now, no chance; once we get rid of this obsession with religion in all aspects of our society, maybe then.
Yes I am a Christian but I don't want any particulary strain of Christianity running my country.

It's conceivable. . .but, the public at large might not be ready for such an individual to lead our country in the national and internations scene.

Yes. Religion should not be mixed with politics. No theocracy.

I'm sure it's already happened. They just can't admit it due to "christian" love and tolerance.
*not any time soon. see reasons above.
