Let's talk!

Hey, Atheists: Remember all the fun we used to have on this journal? Man, that was a good time.

So here's a thing: On the balance, would you rather live in a country that -- while guaranteeing freedom of religion -- required all office holders to be atheist? Why or why not?

I'd be really interested to hear answers from my Dawkins-fan friends.

Religious folks, you can play too: Answer the same question but for your faith.



My answer: I have no idea how such a country would even function (agnosticism / deism isn't exactly ... rigorously testable) and I wouldn't anyway. Diversity is strength and all that.

Well, there were Ayn Rand's devotees back in the day. Distinctly atheist and rather cult-like. Nowadays, though, you see tons of theists reverently talking about Atlas Shrugged, like it's just another part of the canon of Supply-Side Jesus (i.e. the version of Jesus you'll find on WorldNetDaily).
