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.

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?

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.
