Yes (catholic)

I mean, no religious politicians declare themselves as "agnostic" even if they don't believe in god at all.

If a president declares himself as "atheist", that would probably mean he's going to be be an anti religious president.

Sorry, but this is nonsense. It's just like saying that a every religious President is going to be a fundamentalist.

Our president is an atheist (more of an agnostic, but he does not believe in god, that's the point), and I have never heard him say anything meaningful on religion. So what?

Yes (catholic)

Well, not really. Why should he? Just because he does not believe in a god, why should he force this belief on others?

You don't understand my point, people who are at personal level atheist mostly declare themselves as "agnostic".
If they declare themselves as "atheist", I believe there is a willingness to be anti religious.

Agnostic is not being the same as atheist.

As of your argument, unless you can provide us with some reliable data to support it, I must assume you're speaking from your personal experience with people you know that describe themselves as either atheist or agnostic. That's not reliable. For example, my experience contradicts this.

Also, I can bring a long list of self-described atheist politicians from around the world, who certainly did not exhibit anti-religious behavior.

Being an atheist, deist, agnostic or religious is not an issue. It's a matter of personal beliefs. Being either pro- or anti-religious militant is a matter of character. A fundamentalist of any kind in power would surely bother me.

I'd love to see your performance in the debates.  You'd constantly be polling the audience with questions like "What is funnier?  The Cleveland Show or South Park?"  Any time your opponent made a good point, your retort would be something like "Yet another reason why J.J.'s post on this was so ridiculous" or "If opebo was still here, he'd…"

Well, you get the idea.


My fellow Americans. I'm speaking to you on very important subject. South Park is unfunny, disguisting trash. Thank you and opebo bless you all.
