I'm not surprised at those numbers. I think most people view atheists as having no morals.
68% view of them of could have morals yet 62% wouldn't vote for one anyway.
The thing is though, when you get higher unfavorable numbers than Scientology then you know people hate you.
I take it you don't think Tom Cruise is the next Reagan?
that poll doesnt prove me wrongi disagree
religion wouldnt matter as much as character
And I disagree with your post.
Gallup poll back in 1999:
Gallup Polls & Other Surveys on American Attitudes Towards Atheists - Over 40 Years of Research Show Atheists Are Despised, Distrusted
A 1999 Gallup poll conducted to determine Americans' willingness to tolerate a Jewish president (Joseph Lieberman was the Democratic candidate for Vice President at the time). Here are the percentages of people saying they would refuse to vote for "a generally well-qualified person for president" on the basis of some characteristic; in parenthesis are the figures for earlier years:
Atheist: 48%
51% unfavorable..
Muslims are thus regarded a bit worse than the non-religious, but much better than atheists. Attitudes towards "Muslim Americans" were even better than this. All of these attitudes translated into whether people are willing to vote for a person for president. Here are the percentages of Americans who, according to this Pew Research Center survey, would refuse to vote for someone based on the relevant characteristic:
Catholic: 8%
Jewish: 10%
Evangelical Christian: 15%
Muslim: 38%
Atheist: 50%Here are the numbers of born-again Christians who regard the impact of these groups as negative:
Islam: 71%
Buddhism: 76%
Scientology: 81%
Atheism: 92%
Here are the numbers of non-Christians who view the impact of the same groups as negative:
Islam: 24%
Buddhism: 22%
Scientology: 30%
Atheism: 50%
As the television show likes to say, Myth..Busted. I think I proved you wrong again Dive, I wish I wasn't right on this one but I am.
yes she's such a manicThe field looks pretty weak as it stands now, although I do think Romney is a smart bet to win the GOP nomination.
It should have happened in '08, Mitt would have been their best choice. Jindal, Pawlenty are pretty boring. Palin is a loose cannon.
I say Mitt in 2012 also but only if Repubs have smartened up by then. It's a longshot.

Rudy should have moved to Iowa or New Hampshire in mid 2007. certainly shouldn't have pulled out of NH.

Agreed.
I like Rudy - always have.
Tough little Italian...
Atheists represent about 10-20% of the country with the heavy majority of them being left of center. That's why they don't get nominated. There is no need to go out of your way to poke eighty percent of the country in the eye by nominating someone who's mantra is all you religious types are morons.
I'm hoping that Newt does run this time but I don't know that he will. He's the only one out there that is actually putting out workable solutions to what ails this country rather than pie in the sky socialist crap that almost no one not sealybobo thinks is working.

Newt is a bright guy - is he electable?
Not sure...

would harry truman have been electable had he not already been president?
Considering where we will be by 2012 if the Reps don't get enough of an off year bounce to at least limit the damage Obama Co will do to this country, almost anything not Obama will win handily.
Right now Newt is the only one out there with a message of any sort that even begins to resonate with most voters.
By the way based on Newts reception at various Republican affairs that he attends frankly if he announces he almost immediately becomes the front runner. To be sure the country clubbers don't like the guy but frankly that's all the more reason to vote for him.
Amen to that.
And he has on many occassions defended Palin - despite being an intellectual, Newt understands the very basic appeal of Palin's simple message of smaller, less intrusive government, and leading from a position based upon this nation's founding history of personal freedoms.
If Newt runs, and he actually gets the nomination, I would campaign for him hard.

Not that it matters the things he did to his wife among every other horrible thing.
In fact, why don't you take a look at all this then come back, and tell me you'd campaign for him hard.
