Make sure you spread this to all the atheist sites you can post on

I voted for it and I'm spreading the word.

Their purposely rallying to vote down the question only proves to me that they know the answer is "Yes, it has".

Otherwise, why would they care if it was asked? 

Thanks for the confirmation, fellas!

Yeah, they *really* do not want this question anywhere near potential presidents I guess. They want us nontheists to be silent.

That is very true, that's why we need to keep up the voting! We used to actually be in first place way before.

Bump again,

This does not just affect atheists. There has been since Thomas Jefferson, an exclusion of non-Chrisitians to our highest offices. Not because of the Constitution. But because of lack of eductation that has been perpetuated throughout our history. "No Religious Test" Constitutionally means that you cannot be prevented from applying for the paperwork to run for office.

Certianly the voters are not required to vote for a non-Christian of any label. BUT, it stands to reason that if those words are in OUR Constitution, that serves as a reminder to civic minded people that although they can vote for whomever they want, the last thing they should do is "test" someone they might vote for on the issue of deity belief.

Why is this so important? Because, there are conservitive Jews and Christians, and even conservitive atheists. There are atheists and Christians for the death penalty as well as those in both camps against it. There are atheists and Christians for gun ownership, while others seek more restriction.

The point is that this affects more than just atheists. We have in our Congress our first Muslim and first open Atheist. They dont deserve their jobs based on novelty anymore than Hillary or Condoliza should be President because they are women.

This issue is important because OUR Constitution says that anyone in good standing can run for office when meeting the age reqirements for that office. 

Obama doesnt deserve to be president because he is black. Pet Stark(atheist) doesnt desirve to be president because he is an atheist. What we do have far too much in this country is a division between left and right, BASED ON CHRISTIANITY.

When you own a business, do you care what your employee's religious beliefs are, or do you care what kind of job they do? So why is it we cant do that with the Presidency? Why cant we do that with the House and Senate? Why cant we do that with the Supreme Court?

This question is far past due and every Canidate should answer it. If there are any brave ones out there, they will not pander for votes.

VOTE, VOTE NOW AND VOTE OFTEN. THEY MUST HEAR THE VOICES OF THE VOTERS THEY DISINFRANCIZE!

Do not expect emidate results, just do it, and do it often. Someday we will get to the day when "No religious test" means something, and job preformance means even more. 

Bump - it fell sharply since yesterday, so keep those votes up!

You should also downvote the other top ones toget our question to raise. Especially the 2378324238942348923 ones on corporate personhood.

Bump; I don't know about anyone else, but I think this is at least a fraction important for our "atheist jihad".

Thank you, I agree. How about we try telling the Squad that? Email or PM right?
We are in the 2nd row now, yay! Let's try to get more votes though!!

Up... This is something that need be adressed.

Atheist or Theist, the fact that you have to have a pissing war for popularity just means it will not be an honest poll. For anyone, that is just plain sad and shame on people that try to 'fix' the results with dirty tactics...it really does not cast either in a very good light.

I am not doubting that it is a minority belief...the simple fact that 'christians' feel the need to squash any opposition is what I was reffering to. And honestly, your vulgar response does not show your above showing a poor representation of your belief and therefore just cementing most opposing thoughts against your ideals just as you depise anyone against you. Truly not a healthy way to prove your case.

It shows negative and unrespectful behavior towards people...something that mucks all of the planet. Do I say that word? Yup, when the kids get on my last nerve, which proves I am not a holier than thou...lol.

and to be quite honest, i have no idea what a fundamental theist is much less be one...but feel free to explain. I have no hate agenda nor here to prove what I live. I'm here to love people (even vegans...hehe).

Umm, damn; it fell like a rock today. There are people out there really determined to vote this question down.

Ok, I understand the importance of this question, and why it should be answered...but 'a hacking device'? Come on now,  and even if this is a "Pissing Contest" as one person said, not EVERY Christian is going to vote to ignore it, and not every Atheist is going to support it, I doubt some people even know of the site's existence, I didn't until I read this forum. Doesn't the fact that they're going this far to NOT have the question answered prove the point?

Thanks Watcher, and Brion, the guy voting it down EMAILED ME ABOUT IT. He said he is getting his CHURCH AND YOUTH GROUP to vote it down every few days. I'm not just assuming this is what's going on, the guy told me himself.

bump... don't let this go

Thanks guys we really appreciate it. I do want to try to stay away from "Cheating" as much as possible, but ofcourse lots of votes would be nice, especially with these assholes voting it down every too days. And yes, them voting it down every 2 days or so proves that they REALLY do not want this question near their delicate Right Wing party.

Thanks, I would like to shift our focus to the new site. http://www.10questions.com Our question is on the first page, last question on the first page. if we get it and keep it in the top ten, it will be asked to EVERY presidential candidate.  I want to try to get the RRS to feature this. Please help if you can!!

Thanks bro, I appreciate it. And I will do just that!

Nevermind now; look at how high the votes are now!!!
