[If an atheist was ever voted as president of the United States, what's the worst that could happen? Could he or she really do a worse job than President Bush?]
Well, it depends, if they were logically consistent they would out do Hitler, as if there is no God, Nietzsche is right. Fortunately most atheists are not logically consistent and do not have the intestinal fortitude to become the realization of a Nietzschian world view. Thus if said leader curbed evil I really wouldn't care. They would be doing what those who govern ought to do as they are given the authority to do so by the God they do not believe in.

it is quite reasonable to have an expectation that [an atheist] would at least be familiar with the champion of one's own worldview. But I guess that is really an expectation that should not be held for the herd.
