If they held the same positions on the issues that I do, sure. If they were looking to eliminate or significantly reduce the income tax, wanted smaller government, and realized that half the stuff the government currently does should NOT be a function of government in the society we have. I"m in the US.

The religion of a politician is unimportant, so long as they are not public about it, and so long as it does not influence their political decisions.
I will vote for a politician on policies.

It's better to vote for atheistic Thomas Jefferson than religious George Bush.

Absolutely, but that shouldn't be the only reason one votes.
But, the chances are very high that he will be a desirable candidate in all areas if he is a true Atheist.

Depending on their platform, yes. Religion has nothing to do with politics in Canada. WE are actually capable of keeping it separate.

Sure. Besides I believe that the more a politician advertises his/her piety the more corrupted they are.

As long as they respected others' right to believe, sure.

Depends on what his views on issues that actually matter in any way what-soever actually are.

It wouldn't be their atheism that would persuade or dissuade me, but their desire to be a politician.
So no.

No; we would have opposite values and beliefs. I wouldn't support someone who doesn't have faith in God.
