But who would the originators of this vote for, given the 3 choices are theists all?

I believe the point is it does not matter: Theist or atheist, as long as the candidate embraces the ideals of freedom. A true theist (I do not believe Clinton or Obama qualify and that they are basically telling the public what they want to hear) would never get my vote if he/she embraced dogma.

In short, Bush would be right out. : ) It’s very dangerous in today’s climate to embrace eschatological theology, especially when the guys across the pond have a different end-of-the-world Sky Buddy than you do.

The point really isn’t who of those guys we’d vote for today. The point is that today, none of them could get elected, purely on the basis of their stance towards religion, and Christianity in particular.

I’d say all those icky Satanic Masons are doing a pretty good job overall!
