If there was a way to limit laws that could be passed by the president that pertain to morality. For example, if a president who had a problem with gays or abortion came into office, they would not be able to pass a law against them. If that were the case I bet the 40% would not care either.
I personally believe we should have a black lesbian atheist president next. Let's just get all the discrimination out in one fell swoop.
Given that the Democrats' have the advantage this election season with religious talking points, I don't know how this will play out. I'm going to assume most of that 40% is made up of liberal voters [though I could be completely wrong].
I'm surprised to see that the number is so high, considering 85%-90% of the country does adhere to a religion. Maybe we'll see a mainstream non-religious candidate soon? We had the first openly non-theist congressman come out this year.

Oh, and: one can see that we really can be a sad people when one has to "come out" about being atheistic.
Isn't that the truth.
The thread title is deceptive.But a majority of Americans (66 percent) said the candidates specific religious affiliation is not relevant to their voting decision while 27.8 percent do consider a candidates specific religious affiliation. [ibid]
Look at George W. Bush. If your religious beliefs are stupid enough, they can make you the worst president in the history of the United States.Religious beliefs could possibly get in the way of your decision making as a political leader couldn't they?
