And I know there are many atheists who are good people who are more than qualified to lead.

By definition, atheists reject the Founding documents:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,...

Basically, atheists are NOT endowed with inalienable Rights.

Period.

And neither are those that these athiests lead.

Period.

Basically, atheists are NOT endowed with inalienable Rights.

Theer is nothing there that says you have to BELIEVE anything to be endowed with these unalienable rights. You have them no matter what (or are you going to say Hindus don't get them? Buddhists?

Or are you going to kick all atheists and Hindus out of the USA as "unfit?"

And neither are those that these athiests lead. Period.

And screw the US Constitution! Who needs it?

"Basically, atheists are NOT endowed with inalienable Rights."

A more compelling reason to keep religious nutjobs from political office could not be found.

You know, I'd argue with you, but it's not worth it. If you're so far gone that you think that the Constitution doesn't apply to people not like you, then there really isn't any help for you at all.
