If you get to meet a leader of a nation it is because you've made some sort of effort that places you in front of them.
No one is in any doubt that the leader of their nation exists, which is where you analogy fails.

Not much for world events huh?
Putin was originally appointed as president of Russia by Yeltsin, after Yeltsin dismissed the prime minister In 1999. In 04 Putin was re-elected at the end of his term he created a job for himself resurrecting the post of the prime minister, in 08. From this position it is believed/argued Putin puppeted then president Medvedev (as well as Russian law) so that he could be re elected in 2012, by putting an end to the presidential term limits.
While most may not argue the physical existence, of a person who leads a country, people do argue a given person's authority in such a position all the time. That is why we have wars and civil unrest.
In turn while there are those of you who will argue the existence of Christ, and those who will not, all who consider themselves 'atheist' will indeed argue is authority and claim as the son of God, which is the very reason I used this analogy.
