[QUOTE="mfp16"] I really hope we see an openly atheist president in the US in my life time, I don't really see it happening though.Theokhoth
Religion is a big deal if your running for president. Remember when people thought Obama was a Muslim? So not only do our presidents have to be religious, but they have to be a certain type of religious.
Actually, only twelve percent of Americans believe Obama is a Muslim, and 37% of them would vote for him anyway.
Well there are around 300 million people in the US so 12% of that would be 36 million. That's 36 million too many.
[QUOTE="FrostyPhantasm"]Apparently something like 55% of americans think religion is very important, 28% in Canada, and 18% in the UK. Personally i'm happy that we have already elected an atheist prime minister and that religion has no affect on the voting, where as it will be YEARS before an atheist becomes president.mfp16
