what kind of impact will there be to the United states of America if a religious leader takes over? will there

Question

be chaos? will there be peace?

Answer 1

Could go either way. Carter was religious, and he was probably one of the most decent people to ever be president. But on the other hand, the current president is also religious.

Answer 2

After reading several of your responses, I have to agree- we do have a religious leader in charge, and the U.S. has had many religious presidents over the years. Some of have done better than others. Christians aren't perfect. Even if you had an atheist in charge, he could screw up too. A lot of it depends on the kind of advisers he chooses, and how well he listens to them. If he is really trusting God and using wisdom, the U.S. will probably be okay. Remember, not everything that happens in the U.S. is because of our president, whether he's religious or not. A lot of times you get foolish men and women senators and reps and supreme court judges who make stupid decisions, raise taxes, add dumb laws to the books in spite of the president's vetoes. Granted, a religious man can make mistakes, but it is not his religion that really makes the difference- it is the values he holds.
However, Carter was a very religious man, and history has shown he was probably the worst president we ever had. We cannot judge our president based solely on his faith life. We can only judge him by the kind of decisions he makes for the good of the country. If he lets liberals push him around and back him into a corner, so that he makes stupid choices, then it wouldn't matter if he was Muslim, Christian or atheist. He needs to make smart decisions, based on the wisdom of his advisers, past history, and based on moral values that are based on integrity.

Answer 3

Chaos. No sane person would want to live under a theocratic government. Look at Iran today. Sure the leader is not the country's religion leader, but he agrees with it. In the US I would not give that person (religion leader) more than about 40 days before being killed along with most of his hence men. Religion has never done anything good for anyone, but has been the root of most evil in this world, because it is nothing but lies and fraud.

Answer 4

You should read a little about the United States.
Our Country was founded on freedom of religion.

Practically, every president of the USA follow's some form of religion; the majority have been Christian.
The latter does not and should not interfere with diplomacy.

What is Diplomacy?

The art and practice of conducting negotiations between representatives of groups or states.
It usually refers to international diplomacy, the conduct of international relations through the intercession of professional diplomats with regard to issues of peace-making, trade, war, economics and culture.

Where does religion become a part of the latter?

Answer 5

Excuse me, history check, almost all of our leaders have been religious, that hasn't effected us much lately because most are currupt now and have sold their souls (so to speak) to get where they are. They do not mention the name of their god, but speak of him often. As someone said, they say God bless america, but... WHICH GOD???
They have to be politicaly correct of cource, as to not hurt anyones feelings.

And they have to either sound like idiots, be idiots, be annoying, have annoying spouces, be promisquous, be on their third wife, blah blah blah to get into politics.
Remember, the people in charge of the government, not the president, those behind the president, choose who they make look good in the press, they controll the press, so they controll who looks best in the press.

Having a president is just to appease us, we really have no choice, what will be, will be, that is, the way we are headed.

Anyways, I don't think it will have any more than a superficial effect, any president is going to do the same thing, forward the agenda.

Ron Paul looks good, the press makes him seem crazy but I give him the benefit of the doubt, like I said, the press seems to make people who aren't with them, sound crazy...

Answer 6

Chaos, definitely chaos. Tax money would be routed to the now 'government churches' and basically all science would cease to function as it should. So with a lack of science we'd have compromised information about medical care, natural history, and tons of hard evidence would be destroyed, limiting our understanding of the world and the potential for us to progress as a society and species.

Answer 7

You can very well judge the impacts by your good self as, it is very much evident that present regime is of course a religious one too, hence it might be having the same kind of effects.

Answer 8

honestly
i don't think it matters who is elected, the fuse is lite and the keg of powder is dry and ready to go up.

my belief, if we get anyone in office who thinks you can talk and negociate with terrorist is worse that one that is willing to fight to defend this country.

question is, out of the pool of people we have, who is qualified to govern this nation.

a good friend of mine was not surprised at the attack coming on Bush taking the office for he is the son of the man who first put "infidels" in that land in mass.

they are here, and honestly, whether you believe in miracles or not, i bet you are hoping for one as am i

I am only trying to be honest on this. I do not think we have much time left. Australia just told the islamic who want to have islam as a way of life to get out of the country. they don't want them.

and to think, no leader in the US has the spine to tell the arabs to pack up and leave if they don't like living here.

Answer 9

Worst case scenario - the religious fundies gain control of a very very large nuclear arsenal. They regard nuclear war as a sign of the impending Rapture. They want the Rapture to happen.

Need I say more?

Answer 10

Serious! I see an increase in non-Xtians and an increase in pagan faiths. I think it would polarize a growing segment of the population, especially in the baby boomer generation who are still questioning a lot of was crammed down their throats by previous generations.
