I can't escape the thought of him driving to work and getting all his news only from conservative talk radio. And then declaring he literally believes in Satan.

I'm for religious freedom but a Supreme Court judge who literally believes in evil and refuses to read news contrary to his politics beliefs, seems dangerous.

Are you ok with the President believing in God, believing in praying daily, and receiving guidance at the time of crises?

I am no fan of religious people, but a LOT of people are able to do their job properly despite of holding these crazy beliefs, and at the same time a lot of atheist do crazy stuff without having to resort to these beliefs.

Don't you think a person is likely to make better decisions when their beliefs more accurately reflect reality?

I would much prefer an atheist president but that's not likely to happen any time soon.

From my experience it means very little difference.

I believe in God and goodness, hope and love.

I do not believe in supernatural forces compelling man to be evil. The idea that a judge believes in Satan is absurd and dangerous.

And no, it is a tragedy of modern civilization that our Presidents must believe in silly mythological stories.

Freedom to be run by stupid people?
