Real Time host Bill Maher shot down the idea again of going from political commentator to politician while promoting a show in San Diego.

“First of all, I have no desire to run for office,” he told the San Diego Union-Tribune. “Second, I could never even come close to winning, because I’m an atheist. Poll after poll shows Americans would elect almost anyone before they elect an atheist. They would probably elect a pedophile before an atheist. Atheism, in the American lexicon, is just the worst thing you could be.”

There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action.

While its true that atheism and secularism is growing in first world countries, Maher is right, there are still many people who would sooner look the other way on a pedophile president then they would vote for one who doesn't believe the same religious shit they do.

Lets just hope in the coming decades it goes another way for all first world countries.

Spread this on Christian sites will you? I'm too lazy to do it, but I'd like to see their reactions.

Festive cheer does not help much.
What is this, "Justice?"

We 'new atheists' have a reputation for being militant, but make no mistake  we didn't start this war. If you want to place blame put it on the the religious zealots who have been poisoning the minds of the  young for a long long time."

Well, sometimes you need hyperbole, given if we all acted the same it might sound the same thing all the time. So Maher and guys like the amazing atheist have their place.

But, but, My real name is Bill. I don't have a job accept to try and destroy superstitious nonsense.

I only catch him on youtube sometimes, but he's enjoyable to watch.

I think he's exaggerating, seeing as even "born again pedophiles" like the Duggars get yanked from the air, but Maher has never faced being fired just for being an atheist that I know of.

I think Maher would probably lose more because he is just a total jack-off rather than his atheism...
