Atheists Less Trusted Than Crazy People

According to this recent Gallop Poll, more people would vote for a Mormon for president than would vote for an atheist. To say nothing about the absurdity of the Mormon religion, I wish this finding were surprising. And I wish that it mattered. I cannot see a time in the near future that we will have any politician, at least in the national arena, openly admitting to not believing in God.
In fact, finding such a person, I believe, would prove far more astonishing than any stance that person might take. So few people clearly adhere to a worldview even partially defined by the void of belief we call atheism that a politician with enough credibility to thrust himself into a presidential race probably doesn’t exist. And should that person exist, I can only hope that they run as a Republican because the last thing the Democrats need is to offer the American people a leader who’s convictions oppose the foundation of their beliefs. Even if their beliefs are as unsubstantiated by facts as those confounded WMD.
