Rick Warren Says Candidates Must Believe in God

http://www.rightwingwatch.org/2008/08/warren_says_can.html
Rick Warren on Larry King, responding to King's question of whether a person has to believe in god to be president:

"I would say so. I couldn't vote for a person who was an atheist, because I would think -- I think the presidency is a job too big for one person. I would think there's a little arrogance that says, I don't need anybody else. I could vote for someone of different religions than mine, but I don't know that I could personally vote for somebody who denies that we need somebody greater than ourselves to help us."

So Rick Warren won't vote for somebody unless they think a supernatural being is going to give them help from another dimension? Those kinds of people would fit better in a straitjacket than the white house.

So, Rick Warren is essentially saying, using nice sounding Christian words, that he hates democracy because it allows atheists to run for president.

& the constitution is clear on this; "...no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."

What?! haha.

Obviously he didn't know many of the founding fathers did not believe in god.

But also, the "In God We Trust" does not relate to anything religious.

If President Christian was running for President of Youtube, he would lose by a landslide since the majority of Youtubers are atheists.
