The next President needs to be an atheist

[IamFortunesFool]

80. I was raised in a Christian family...I know it all too well

I am also an avid student of religion, spirituality, and philosophy. I have been a seeker my entire life, and I would wager that I know your religion as well, if not better than you do. After many decades of study and thought on the subject, I confidently maintain that religion is the active practice of mythological superstition.

And, yes, I do believe at this point in history that an openly atheist in office would be far better than yet another version of a Judeo-Christian. You've had dozens of them, and you'll likely have many more. I absolutely think it's time for a fresh perspective and a leader who isn't constricted by antiquated beliefs that are rooted in faith rather than empirical facts and testable postulates.

Unfortunately, you probably will never understand this, because you don't see your beliefs as outdated mythology as I, and the rest of the scientific community do.

Hate to be critical, but if you want to accuse me of being judgmental then I am compelled to state my case and demonstrate the validity of my crituique.
