April 23, 201412 yr No doubt we have had an athiest or agnostic President(maybe multiple ones) who just pretended to the world to be a God-fearing believer. My question is - Could (or will) a publicly devout athiest or agnostic ever become President? I know the polls say that America is becoming less and less religious, but will she ever "Lose Her Religion" enough to elect someone who professes a non-belief philosophy?

I know the polls say that America is becoming less and less religious, but will she ever "Lose Her Religion" enough to elect someone who professes a non-belief philosophy? I consider myself a pretty religious person. That being said, I would have zero issue casting a vote for someone who was either Atheist or Agnostic if their stance on the issues aligned with mine.
April 23, 201412 yr Agreed. It will probably happen at some point, I just don't know how long it would take to get there.
April 23, 201412 yr Author It could (and likely will) happen someday. Right now, I don't think so. I agree with you.
April 23, 201412 yr It depends on what type of atheist he or she is... "I don't believe in God and all that do are simpletons" type, not getting elected "I don't believe in God but respect those that have a different view" type, could get elected
April 24, 201412 yr Will we have an atheist/agnostic, openly homosexual, or woman first? All three at once.
April 24, 201412 yr The atheist/agnostic would have to come out of the D party. No chance he/she could make it through an R primary. I still say it would not happen.
April 24, 201412 yr Why not? We elected a foreign-born neighborhood-organizing socialist wealth redistributing Muslim. Twice.
