EDGE: You're kidding, right? Mike Huckabee is a creationist, a right wing Christian, opposes religious liberty, and is distrusted because he was corrupt in Arkansas.

Someone here gave a nice Obama quote a few weeks ago about tolerating all stances towards religion. I did some poking around to verify its accuracy: it was accurate.
Back in 2000 McCain made some promising comments about the religious right. Of course the Republican Party completely trashed his campaign the very next day, and now he's kow-towing to those people like mad. But I think he's secretly a LOT brighter and more patriotic than he's letting on - he's just pretending to agree with those people.

Rand Paul. His possibly biblical based ideals are generally backed and justified with logic, thus he's thought his actual stance through. The irony is that it almost seems to hurt him with the religious that he isn't willing to say, because (insert religious right rhetoric). He's a fiscal conservative, and a realist when it comes to military spending, borrowing, entitlements, and social-security. He doesn't believe in going to war unless congress decides so(the way it's supposed to work). Proponent if diplomacy as opposed to war. He's pragmatic; gay marriage, why does the government define marriage when it should uphold contracts? He's willing to look at inequality and criminal reform, and generally acknowledges the fact that poverty + stupid unequally enforced laws are responsible for inequality. He also acknowleges that any individual can become the minority for any choice or predisposed condition.
I'll take s constitutionalist, libertarian leaning republican any day.

Hard to say. I like Bill Richardson's anti war policies, don't trust Kucinich the "born again pro choicer" after years of being a social conservative in Congress, and have some misgivings about Obama regarding religion/govt separation.
The rest? Forget it. Huckabee should be doing weight loss commercials. The man is such an idiot he can't accept the scientific fact of evolution.
He should go back to his other dishonest profession as a preacher.

I'm not an American, but what i can understand from Bangladesh, atheists/agnostics would probably vote for democrats. But Hilary Clinton seems to me the female version of Bush, so I'd say atheists and agnostics should consider supporting Obama.

I support Barak Obama. He's a theist, but a good one. I evaluate candidates based on issues, character, and experience. I see him as a transitional leader, a good man, and right on most of the issues (although I want a single-payer healthcare system...).
On the right, I recognize Ron Paul as being intellectually honest and probably a good person. But I think his ideas about economics are just too off the wall, and his libertarian ideals just go too far.

Absolutely, under no circumstances, anyone with an "R" after his name.
Beyond that, I like John Edwards if we're talking exclusively about church/state issues. He, like all of them have to, talks about how important his faith is in his life and all that rubbish. But he made a point in stating in one of the debates that he believes strongly that his personal religious convictions should never come into play in making decisions as president. Or something to that effect. I do believe he earned my vote with that one statement.

That would be the individual Atheists choice..
I myself am very undecided at the moment... The democrats currently in position to get the nomination are abysmal as are the republicans...
When the choice is between piles of crap differing only in size and strength of smell the choice is difficult to make.. :(

Maybe Ahamadinajad would be a good choice for atheists....since he seems to agree with most of the liberal democrap positions
