I've been pondering this question for quite some time. I think every single President we ever had was Christian. I think any other religion, other than Christianity, would have a hell of a hard time scailing the political ladder. Think about it, I highly doubt an atheist could get elected, even though he might be an upstanding citizen, and obey all the laws, but as soon as his beliefs or lack thereof come out- watch out. Atheism is frowned upon because the public fears what is doesn't know. An atheist might be able to get by saying he won't listen to voices telling him to invade soverign nations, and won't stand in the way of modern medicine. And because most atheists are well-versed on the bible, it definetly won't hurt to toss out some bible quotes. They have a fighting chance, that is, until there beliefs/non beliefs come up.
