Now if only an openly atheist person could be elected for something.
They can:

Ken Livingstone - Mayor of London (00/08)
James Callahan - Prime Minister of UK (76/79)
Aleksander Kwaśniewski - President of Poland (95/00)
Alexander Lukashenko - President of Belarus (94/--)

To name just the ones I know of.

Not to mention all the officials in Communist countries, who all get 100% of the vote. (Okay, that doesn't really count. :millie: )
