If Obama was agnostic...

[Eraserhead]

Probably only Vermont

He might come close in Washington, New York, Illinois and Hawaii

[Scam of God]

I think we'll have an openly atheist President before sixty, but after our first female and Hispanic President(s). I think we've had closeted ones before, not counting the eighteenth century deists. I think we'll have an openly homosexual President not long after.

EDIT: For that matter, I don't think Obama is particularly religious, and is probably a closeted agnostic.

[The Man From G.O.P.]

He'd get crushed, which is stupid. He of course is an agnostic, which is fine.

According to what he wrote in "The Audacity of Hope", he grew up in a non-religious household, neither his grandparents nor his mother were religious.  He only became a Christian when he was a community organizer and began to work with black churches.  He knew that in order to get involved in Chicago politics he had to pretend he was religious in order to be embraced by the (very religious) black community.

I don't think he's agnostic, I think he's one of those people who has benefited from the church and feels that it's an institution that is necessary in our society.  I don't think he cares too much about the issue (now that he's not a member of Wright's church, he and Michelle call themselves "Christians" whatever that means), but he wouldn't go as far as thinking whether god exists or not or question his beliefs.  In other words he's another politician who will say what the people want to hear, much like Bush did (when it comes to religion of course, because he's much better on other issues).

This scenario makes me wish it would be possible to run an actual matchup between me and someone like Fezzy or PiT. Would I win the Deep South?

Fezzy? Yes
PiT? No

Are Southernors going to prefer some Christian guy from the heartland of North Dakota or a San Francisco atheist?

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I would lose the Deep South horribly. The best thing for me to do to win it would be to attack BRTD for being a libertine.

     That however would ultimately be counterproductive to any serious attempt to win since I would probably have a better chance of winning NH & WA than MS & NC given my religious views.

I've changed my mind about Obama.  After watching this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0zDAJB-xqs I think I agree with those who say he's not really religious (which is a good thing IMO).  He says that he was introduced to christianity late in his life but his nonreligious mother and grandparents had the same strong values that people in his black church have.  He also says that religious people don't have the monopoly on morality.  It's a really interesting interview and I would recommend watching it.

He may not be an agnostic, but I'm pretty sure he isn't a Christian in that he doesn't believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ. I could be wrong though.
