Well,Unlike organized religions, athiests don't all adhere to a single set of beliefs. So, it would be hard to get someone to run on an "athiest" platform.

i'm not sure that they'd have toafter all, you the people aren't voting for religion(although against a religion is a totally different story), they're usually voting party, so if an athiest won the primarys for a party then got asked about his religion and he said he was 'unaffiliated', that wouldn't be able to affect his appeal to anyone but the ACTUAL bible thumping believers (say, 3% of the nation. they'd be forced tolook at his stance on certain issues as opposed to his religious beliefs. rereading that makes me think of things to contradict myself but i want to do some shopping so ill post it anyway. paintmash time
