1 You're a cunt(that's a fact) 2 Your country 3 Does certain religious belief the presidential candidate holds affect his chances of becoming a president in your country?
1 Yes 2 Flag 3 I don't know because we've had the same president even before i was born.
2. flag 3. It's alright if he's catholic or atheist. I don't know if we ever had a Protestant President. Macron was happy like a baby when he met the Pope. Pope Francis is a Jesuit (known for their very high education), and Macron went to a Jesuit high school (where he met his mo... his wife) I don't think the President could be a Muslim. It's crazy how London has a Muslim mayor.
Caleb Cook
You had a proddie President in the 3rd Republic
Kayden Brooks
You mean Protestant? Who?
Austin Jenkins
Yes USA Yes. We will have a robot president before an atheist president.
Jack Reyes
We've had either catholics or atheists as presidents, nothing else
>It's alright if he's catholic or atheist This. Also we would rather choose a jihadist before a Pr*testoid.
Evan Parker
We've had Catholic, Orthodox, and Mormon candidates; only one Catholic has ever won. All the other Presidents were Protestant, at least publicly
Angel Hill
Nice, I wasn't aware of this.
Lincoln King
CDU (so Merkel) is either catholic or protestant (protestant in this case) and wants to protect "muh christian values" (doing nothing to change anything) as the "C" in their party stands for christian
SPD was always protestant but not that religious
Blake Hill
Quite a few Western cities have Muslim mayors e.g. Calgary and Rotterdam.
Hudson Phillips
Surveys and polls have shown that atheists, Muslims, and Mormons are the three least trusted religious groups in America.
Connor Green
As PM Canada has had: >7 Catholics >4 atheists/agnostics/humanists (3 former Catholics and 1 former Anglican) >3 Anglicans >3 Baptists >2 Presbyterians >2 United >1 Evangelical >1 mystic
Obviously our head of state is also the head of the Church of England so They are always Anglican
Tyler Scott
>atheists By now it can be considered a religious group judging by the amount of those retards flinging shit at anything slighlty religious. t. an Atheist.
Levi James
I don't it possible to become PM if your neither christian or non religious.
Carson Thompson
so Christians and atheists have no chance at being PMs?
Dominic Allen
What? ignoring spelling you can tell I'm meant the opposite.
Elijah Adams
Uhh.. don't mean to be rude, user, but do you have dyslexia or you're just drunk right now?
Carson Lee
We had a Muslim president. You might remember. He was the guy who came before Trump.
Camden Martin
Can president refuse to swear on bible during inauguration?
Hudson Morris
Yes Flag Definitely. Not only president, but also governor, mayor, senator and deputy. Rio's mayor is a cashgrabber bishop of a disgusting church, and both Rio's governor and our president are strongly christians and used this in their favor during the elections. Brazilians will elect any monkey that talks about God
Logan Hernandez
I think they'd allow a muslim to swear on the koran or an atheist to swear on the communist manifesto
John Quincy Adams took the Oath of Office in 1825 on a book of laws rather than a Bible, but there is no actual evidence that any of the presidents from John Adams to John Tyler were sworn in on a Bible.
Jacob Moore
>only one Catholic has ever won By his own admission, he didn't really believe it in that much anyway.
Matthew Flores
Since then Theodore Roosevelt is the only president not sworn in on a Bible due to the rushed circumstances after McKinley's death.
Kevin Lewis
>Mormons who was the Mormon white house candidate? McCain?
Evan Baker
Yes. Russia. No.
Juan Foster
just be a non batshit insane christian
Levi Thomas
No McCain was the idiot who gave Obama his first term. The Mormon candidate was the idiot who gave Obama his second term.
Joseph Torres
I think it was Mitt Romney.
Juan Wilson
Thanks bros. I'm influenced by my reading of Consider the Lobster, where DFW in a chapter follows the McCain campaign. I didn't know he had been a POW who almost voluntarily endured torture to respect the code of honor that a Lieutenant doesn't abandon his soldiers.
Evan Morgan
George Washington used a Bible but it was the Masonic Bible, in fact a couple of presidents used that.
Adam Torres
>I didn't know he had been a POW who almost voluntarily endured torture to respect the code of honor that a Lieutenant doesn't abandon his soldiers. I didn't remember that an honorable serviceman gives away military knowledge to the enemy. Or sets the deck of aircraft carriers on fire.
Jeremiah Cox
Our PMs have all been either Protestant (typically) or irreligious so far. Attlee was agnostic, IIRC. Blair converted to Catholicism only after fucking the country. Catholic would probably be fine, though; even though nobody has thus far been elected as one.
Eli Parker
They used to call W "the shrub"
Justin Edwards
>I didn't remember that an honorable serviceman gives away military knowledge to the enemy. oh user I'm sure you would last so long at being tortured! look at all these pussies that have been tortured, none of them are as strong and manly as you!
Justin Jones
What you call masonic Bible is just a normal Bible
>The Bible is the King James Version, dated 1767, complete with the Apocrypha and elaborately supplemented with the historical, astronomical and legal data of that period.[1] St. John's Lodge No. 1, Ancient York Masons, are the custodians of what is now known as the George Washington Inaugural Bible. The Bible was randomly opened to Genesis 49 during the ceremony.[2] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washington_Inaugural_Bible
Cameron Morris
A lot of the early presidents actually had unknown or unclear religious affiliations, but Andrew Johnson was the last one. Of James Monroe it is said "Less is known about his religious beliefs than any other president. A very few references to an impersonal god appear in surviving correspondence of Monroe's." However, much of his personal papers were destroyed after his death.
Landon Martin
>Trump’s predecessor, Barack Obama, was raised in a nonreligious household but converted to Christianity as an adult and worshipped at a United Church of Christ congregation – Trinity United Church of Christ – in Chicago. However, Obama left Trinity during his first presidential campaign in 2008 after controversial statements by the church’s senior pastor, Jeremiah Wright, gained widespread attention. Today, Obama calls himself a Christian, but is not a regular churchgoer.
If you actually know anything about the UCC, it's not really a "church" and very little of its beliefs have anything to do with Christianity, although they do have a lot to do with Marxism.
Hunter Ramirez
We currently have a Hindu nationalist as president so yes.
Jaxson Richardson
Andrew Johnson was a non-denominational Christian. Lincoln and Jefferson are the two presidents who did not clearly identify with any faith. Also James Monroe was formally a member of the Episcopalian Church of Virginia, whatever his personal beliefs may have been.
Owen Parker
That's cool.Is he planing on exterminating minorities and establishing Hindu as a one true religion?
Benjamin Hernandez
Though amusing as it is, the founder of modern India (Nehru) was a fedora who became upset when a Hindu priest attempted to bless him when he was sworn in as the country's first PM.
Brayden Barnes
Not really. The left makes it seem like it though. Nehru was a jew(Kashmiri).
David Rogers
>Not really. The left makes it seem like it though. That's what i've meant by it.
Colton Johnson
Non-Catholic Maltese are a rarity to begin with. I don't know, but as long as they're Christian, I think they still can make it. I'm talking about candidates in-general here since we don't elect the President.
