I would prefer a common sense atheist. By common sense I mean someone who wouldn't spend time and money trying to change the wording on walls or dollar bills but also a person who wouldn't make policy distinctly based upon religious views.
I feel strongly that Bush was in error by limiting stem-cell research by tying it to the abortion issue. While it may have been a little tough for him to justify to many of his supporters, clearly their could have been more leeway allowed.
that being said the anti-christian bias held by much of the left is as much of a problem as the rights advocacy of religious politics
