wheres the yes because I don't give a **** about religion?

That would be option 1. Because option 2 says "Yes because I care he is atheist" and option 3 says "No because I care she is atheist".....option 1 is the "Yes, religion doesn't affect my political views" choice.

The problem is.. with #1.. it's saying "Yes I would vote BECAUSE I am atheist" not "I would vote because religion means nothing to me"

By that logic, you are saying you would vote for them BECAUSE you don't care about religion.....how is that any different?

 

I honestly don't understand your misunderstanding of options 1.....option 1 states "Yes, IF I have the same political views".....just because two people have the same religious standing doesn't mean they have the same political views....

 

I'm agnostic and I vote for the candidate that I share the most political views with......based on what you said, I am voting on those candidates because they are also agnostic, which obviously they are not.

lol just saw that the pool is broken: option 3 refers to a "she" while the 2nd option refer to a "he".

Year, made a sexist joke out of it. But its really not a sexist but an atheist thing.

OP's next topic: if you're an atheist would you atheist your atheism?

I try to vote for competent leaders; their religious ideology is of little concern to me.

What happens if the candidates worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster or some other exotic cult does that still make them non-religious in your eyes.Ergo what are you counting as a religion?

 

Religion

the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods:

a particular system of faith and worship:

 

Atheist

a person who disbelieves or lacks belief in the existence of God or gods:

I think it would be more likely that I would vote for someone who is an atheist, but only after I agreed with their political views.

 

No offense to anyone who is religious but I think anyone who believes a man sits in the sky and controls everything is illogical.

Sure, why not, we voted a Muslim into office and didn't elect a Mormon, can't worse than being a Mormon, right?

Well we seem to have drawn the line a Mormons as not good to be President, anything more exotic than that will have a real hard time gaining any traction
