If you are a Christian who has voted for an atheist (in those areas where an atheist can legally run for office, that is) please signify with a capital "CA". Atheists that have voted for a Christian, please signify with a capital "AC". Thanks!

Not sure where you're from, but in the US, there is no such thing as an atheist politician because they would never get elected. As an atheist, I have voted every time for a Christian politician because that is the only religion to be in the US if you want a successful political carreer and therefor my only option.
My point? Any voting atheist in the US will have voted for a Christian candidate (I tend to vote for the ones that seem caught up in their myths the least) and no Christian will have ever even had the opportunity to vote atheist.

I have NO idea. You yourself say politicians lie. So how can we know? Who is to say one doesn't claim to be an Atheist and is really a Christian?
One's religion does not effect my vote. Otherwise I would have voted for Kerry because he CLAIMED to be Catholic. That would be just stupid.
I have met Atheists who do not believe in the death penalty and who would never condone abortion. I'd much rather pick that person for office than a Christian who supported both.

((Jingles)) certainly the main tolerant human beings on listed under are the pagans, wiccan's and buddhists. yet it incredibly is in simple terms my remark. seems that there is a team from the two factors that provides everybody else a undesirable call, and a undesirable style of their mouths, with the objective to talk. certainly from my very own journey as a Catholic, i come across my fellow christians to be extra illiberal than the Atheists. Sorry persons, it incredibly is the way it is going, once you damn human beings to hell for what they suspect, or you call them portion of a demonic or satanic church. I do forgive them of their lack of expertise however. i'm thinking that the illiberal, and vice versa might have something to do with hockey, fairly once you communicate approximately how close versa is to as against.

Very good question. I'm a Christian and I don't know the religion ( or non-religion) of most of the people I've voted for, and don't really care as long as I agree with the person on most of the issues.

I'm a Christian. I don't vote, BUT, if I did, it would depend on his thoughts and ideas and what he would change, etc. It wouldn't depend whether he believes God or not. Just how good would he be in office. Especially if he seemed better than the other guy (Christian or Atheist).

In the USA, the only way to avoid voting for a Christian is to avoid voting entirely.

AC because there weren't any athiest politicians to choose from and I figured Kerry was a much better alternative to Dubya.

CA I think - but I actually don't check a person's religious affiliation before voting.

I have never heard of a single openly atheist politician.
