Re: 2016 Election
Any politician running for POTUS who said they were an atheist wouldn't get elected today.
I don't think Obama believes in god, but he does believe in polling.

Don't worry that will be gone once the Donald is elected and Trumpism becomes the state religion.

Re: 2016 Election
I think not being a member of a particular church is different to being atheist. Though apparently wikipedia lists him as protestant.
My wife was very pleased to have the chance to vote for a Jewish candidate in the primary and then vote for a woman candidate in the general.
On the whole I agree it shouldn't be an issue.

What's that joke about the guy stranded on his roof during a flood. He keeps waving away the boat, helicopter and other rescuers saying God will provide. Then he drowns and meets St Peter who asks him why he turned away the boat etc that they sent him?

Re: 2016 Election
I mean, you're bog-standard Christo wouldn't be a huge problem, but some of those evangelicals are mental, I wouldn't put it past a lot of them.
Why actually do anything? By praying you get to do nothing but claim credit for caring/helping ...
