Are you suggesting that only atheists be allowed to run for office? Or are their convictions too strong as well. Only those with no belief system then?
I won't vote for someone who has really strong beliefs, ie. young earth creationists, but it is definitely their right to run for office.
I remember a study from 2008 when Mitt Romney was being spoken about the first time for president and there was a poll taken to find out which religious viewpoint was most palatable with the voters. Atheism was ranked at the very bottom.
