If ever, when do you suppose a President of the US will be elected who is:?

Question

a) female
b) non-white ethnicity (specify)
c) non-Christian Abrahamic
- Jewish (religion not ethnicity)
- Muslim
d) of a non-Abrahamic religion
e) agnostic
f) atheist

Kj: When? Every President I am aware of was either deist or Christian (although not necessarily Protestant)

Silly Allen: I meant ONE of these, not all in one person :P

Kj: Ah. Agreed and good point. Should have been clearer. By "non-Abrahamic religion" I meant something other than deism.

or Free Masons.

And the sarcasm doesn't befit you.

Answer 1

c) Non Christian has been done
g) And Deists do not worship the same god as you.

During the presidential campaign of 1880, the Christian Union made the startling admission that, of the nineteen men who, up to that time, had held the office of President of the United States, not one, with the Possible exception of Washington, had ever been a member of a Christian church. I doubt Washington was.

Look up Free Masons, Einstein.

Answer 2

Not in the near future. Unfortunately our country is not yet open enough to embrace other religions, genders and ethnicity's at such a high level.

Answer 3

a) She would have to be a staunch Republican bent on cutting taxes
b)I am unconcerned about ethnicity, unless it is part and parcel with their party outlook
c) I would support a Jew for president, but not a Muslim ... the times do not give me much confidence in that choice
d)It would depend on the issues of the person involved, but I would do it only as a last resort most likely
e)I am not opposed to an agnostic, many presidents were functional agnostics
f)I do not think I would support an atheist, their agendas are too divergent from my own.

Just so you know how fundie, Christian, right wing I am ... my perfect ticket would be Tom Tancredo for Prez and Newt for Veep. Just remember, I am an outlier, so no worries.

Answer 4

John Adams (2nd president) was not of an Abrahamic religion. He was a Unitarian as was his son John Quincy Adams (6th President).

Also Unitarian were Millard Fillmore (13th) William Howard Taft (27th).

Thomas Jefferson (3rd) held Unitarian beliefs although he generally defined himself as a Deist.

Answer 5

I think a non-white male stands a decent chance, look at Obama. Look at Colin Powell. Both were very well accepted in government. I don't think there'd be much of a racial issue when voting.

A female, when a decent one crops up. Sadly a lot of people won't vote for a female. I have no problem putting one in office, but not Clinton. She embodies everything I dislike about both parties. Very conservative on the things I'm more liberal on, and very liberal on things I tend to be conservative about. My views on her have nothing to do with her gender. I do think a lot of men wouldn't vote for a woman though. Sad really.

As far as religion goes, I could care less, as long as it isn't one of their running points. That's one thing I disliked about Bush, the whole pandering to the christian majority. He straight out lied to them, but it did win him votes. I don't think the USA would elect much outside of christian though. I could be wrong, who knows? Seems like the only way a non-christian would get in office would be to not make religion an issue.
