I took great pains to explain to you why it is difficult if not impossible for an atheist to be elected to office in the USA. Go back and read it again, it was very simple.

About 100 years ago in North America there were 98% Christian; imagine how difficult it would have been for any atheist to build a history. Yet Thomas Jefferson drew up the principal author of the Declaration of Independence, absence of word God, which has stood up till today.
It is known to my god and me alone Thomas Jefferson (1776) The Constitution It is the framework for the organization of the United States government ...
Now imagine most of the countries in the Middle East where God is law in their Constitution. The problem is when a person over protects their group to the point of breaking their own ethic or morals in case most Americans still thinks they are Christian Nation. .
Throughout his life, however, Jefferson strenuously denied that he held orthodox Christian beliefs or that he desired the mixing of politics and religion in government. Instead, Jefferson's religious philosophy centered on 18th century concepts of natural law. Jefferson placed significant value on the ability of human beings to use reason to understand their world
“But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg “Thomas Jefferson”
