We need an atheist U.S. President!

Information

I am actually British, but you'd have to be a bit naive to not care about the American presidency. An atheist president would really be a step forward, and it's ironic because the majority of the founding fathers were deists, not Christians.

It is rather disheartening to realize how very few politicians are willing to admit that they do not believe in a supreme being. This is a link to a list (disappointingly short) of recognized…Continue

I actually fit all those categories. xD When I was a kid I even planned on being the first president of my kind, though nowadays I plan on being a diplomat. ^^

Yet another example of Biblical errancy!

Comment by Sean Oakley on May 11, 2010 at 10:14am: I really do empathize with everyone who has to experience living in a theocracy. I myself wish to go into politics, I'm already acquainted with various prominent British politicians. You might be interested to know that the leader of the third largest party in Britain (receives normally 25% of the vote in national elections), Nick Clegg of the Liberal Democrats, is an atheist. And Gordon Brown, the leader of the second largest Party, the Labour Party, has recently announced his resignation. The favourite choice of his potential successors, David Miliband, is a pronounced atheist and the son of a famous Marxist philosopher (Ralph Miliband).

The European Union is similar, in the respect that it is very secular. When the European constitution was drafted, Portugal wanted a mention of God, it was multilaterally and explicitly rejected by European politicians, because they wanted the EU to remain a 100% secular institution.

If you want religious indifference, apathy, or outright criticism of it, come to Europe.

Comment by Nick Carpenter on May 10, 2010 at 10:56pm: id be down with it. i do however think we will have a female president by the time we hit #48. maybe condi? lol

Comment by Tabitha Ellaine Smile on May 10, 2010 at 10:44pm: a female atheist president! <3

Comment by Nick Carpenter on May 8, 2010 at 8:29am: I am from the Bible Belt(Georgia) and i lost countless friends when i gave up religion. My ultimate goal is to be the first atheist president, but i realize i will probably have to live elsewhere to get started in politics.

Comment by Sean Oakley on May 3, 2010 at 3:24pm: That does sound shit. To say the least. Do you know what upsets me the most though, the people who founded America were such liberal and profoundly freethinking people, I bet these great men would be rolling in their graves if they knew how religiously intolerant America had become in comparison to other countries in the western world.
