Here's news for ya. I'm not a religious righty wacko. To tell you the truth, I haven't gone to church regularly in probably 5 years. However, I do have a personal relationship with God. I know He exists. I know he is the Creator. I believe in Afterlife. I pray to him. I seek his guidance in times of trouble. I also believe in spreading the word of God and seeking his guidance in times of trouble.
Personally, I just do not want an atheist in office, that's all. Not to say they're bad people, but I just won't vote for an atheist. Just like I won't vote for a democrat, unless the political spectrum singnificantly changes. But it doesn't mean all democrats are bad people.
I really believe it is important to have someone in office who seeks the guidance of a higher authority (esp. God, or even Allah, Buddha, etc.) in making important decisions for a country and such. Someone who I can relate to, someone I can identify with. Someone who's well-being is stronger, because of their sense of spirituality, which in turn makes the country stronger.
I think that was a very reasonable defense of your POV, I agree mostly with your last paragraph.
