Think about that for a moment; and then ask yourself whether you would be willing to vote for a Catholic…
Why not? I think a persons faith is not automatically a big issue. If a candidate panders and plys believers that is a big strike against them in my book. Rejection of equal political representation, on the basis religious opinion, however superior in the soundness of its derivation, is a failure on the part of the politician who practices that way.
I am not against atheism either but from what I have seen atheists are not generally speaking evolved significantly so that rule by them would make things better. Main benefit would be no religious schizms to ply domestically or internationally.Being what we are we would probably try to force the world to comply with our national atheism and find them coming up short so that we could justify taking their lives, oil or whatever. Didn’t someone do that already?
