Yes but will they re-elect one?
54% of the people voted for a Black, Muslim, Communist, Gay, Atheist.
I’d love to see the breakdown on this question between regular run-of-the-mill atheists and proselytizing “new” atheists.
I think a lot more people would be willing to vote for someone who says “I don’t believe in God, but hey, believe what you want”, than a guy who says “I don’t believe in God, and if you do, you’re a moron”.

Heh! Nice one! ;-)
Yeah, but would they vote for a proctologist?
The thread directly beneath this one when I clicked on this link was a quote from a retiring Dem congressman: “The people have gotten dumber”. I think he may well be right, especially after reading this article. They certainly were in 2008.
For a novel idea lets vote in a guy who has the qualifications to be a good President of the U.S.
I think a lot of people wouldn’t tell the truth on a poll like this because their honest answers wouldn’t be considered politically correct.
Case in point...have you noticed what has happened to JC Penny since their new marketing tactics pushing the Homosexual agenda.
People aren’t going to put themselves out there for something like this. Obviously, they voted for a black/white guy that “could speak well”. The rest is of this poll is an open question as far as I am concerned.
It takes a lot of faith to be an atheist.

RE: Simpletons don’t realize, they already did, back in 2008.
I thought Obama OPENLY declared himself to be a Christian...
BTW, Australia has had 2 openly self-declared atheists as prime ministers (both members of the Labor party <— their equivalent of our Democrats).
One was Bob Hawke in the late 80’s and early 90’s. The other one is the current Prime Minister — Julia Gillard.
He's a Muslim. Pure and simple. He even said so, 3 times and ABC news corrected him. Four years ago I would not see myself voting for anybody who was not a Christian. You can add me to that list of voters now (at least for this year).
I'll take an atheist over a Muslim any day. Sure do wish there was the option of voting for a Christian though.
I wouldn't vote for a proselytizing "new" atheist, and I'm an atheist. I can't stand the type, whatever they happen to be pushing. They all think they know better than I do what's good for me, and that would surely be reflected in their decisions in government.
But it's nice to see this. I've seen people say they'd NEVER vote for an atheist, no matter what, no matter how conservative his positions, no matter how moral of a life he's led. That means if the only opposition to the atheist in an election is a gun-grabbing, amoral communist Muslim, the conservative still wouldn't vote for the atheist. Insane.
Since agnostic was not on the list as distinct from atheist, it’s not possible to tell from this what kind of support a militantly atheistic candidate would get. But I’d say: Probably not a lot, compared to the agnostic.
Its common knowledge that Obama is a Atheist Muslim who only got married and had children to disguise his Gayness.
