“Better an atheist”
At least according to this LTTE in the Salt Lake (UT) Tribune.
President-wise, I would vote today for an intelligent, compassionate, articulate, well-read, honest and brave atheist or agnostic over any one of the more-Christian-than-thou bunch pandering shamelessly in the ring right now.
Professions, assertions and declarations of “faith” belong at home and in the church/synagogue/mosque/temple/treehouse/cave of one’s choice. In government, I want common sense and practicality, neither of which is the exclusive preserve of any religion.
However, I have “faith” that no such individual will emerge to save us from our own self-righteousness.Jackie McCowen-Rose

I don’t care about a politician’s religion or lack thereof. I just want them to keep it out of politics, political decisions and my life. Sadly too few of them seem to be able to do that so maybe it’s time for an atheist president.
