Wondered when Religion Would Enter the picture.

As I dyed-in the wool atheist, I'd love to see a complete non-believer in the Oval Office. Bernie isn't perhaps a complete non-believer exactly, but he's a quite a out of the mainstream of American politicos who run for national office. I've wondered if this would become any sort of issue. Personally, as much as I prefer Hilary to him, I hope religion just stays out of it. But that's probably an idle hope, given that this is, well, America.
