When I thought about doing this poll, I thought that most Americans still wouldn't. But the poll I looked up to post this has apparently changed that information:
Majority Of Americans Would Vote For An Atheist For President (POLL)
I would like to ask as a DP poll though, would you vote for or consider voting for an Atheist in any public office, not just the Presidency.
As a discussion point, I believe there are six states that do not allow Atheists to hold public office, even though that is against the US constitution.
Also as an Atheist, my vote is naturally yes.

No, atheists have no morals.
No moral compass, no vote.
Non sequitur. Atheist does not equal no moral compass.
Atheist at best follow mans laws, IMO a deeper law needs adhered to.
That is simply no true. Atheists can and do have a deep moral compass.
Don't dehumanize atheists. All people have the same conscience. There are many atheists who are governed by their conscience, and many professing Christians who ignore their conscience.

A book of rules doesn't constitute "deeper" law.
Not a book of rules but an openness to a higher power that can help guide your decisions.
That's either your own consciousness or your ethics based on what you read in a book.
No moral compass, no vote.

Do you vote for Republicans or Democrats? They don't seem to have an accurate moral compass.
Sometimes I get burned out on the thought of a "god" whatever that is. All the suffering in the world at times makes me think their just can't be a caring God so I quit my morning prayer. After a while things start seeming bleak though so I start to pray again and immediately things are better so it works for me.
Unfortunately life often boils down to choosing the lesser of two evils.
