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.
