I can think of no more conflicted and questionable atheist than S. E. Cupp.  When she attempted to discuss atheism and religion on Bill Maher some time back, she made positively ZERO SENSE.  Too often it sounds as though she need to APOLOGIZE for her atheism, which hardly reflects well on her.

On top of that, is she even aware of Article VI of the US Constitution, which states in Paragraph Three that " religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."  This government is SUPPOSED to be secular.  Jack Kennedy made a point of negating his catholicism as a factor in how he would govern, and if the RC church had any impact whatsoever on his actions in office, I am not aware of them.  Yet since that time, it seems as though the chest-beating about religious affiliation has only become louder and less appropriate.

NO public official should execute their office based on belief, but based on the LAW.  If Cupp cannot recognize that, then her problem is far more severe than her understanding (or lack thereof!) of how government SHOULD work or who should govern at all.

... some even think they talk to the big Guy .... when the POTUS gets advice from a non-existent entity, we Atheist get concerned.


Especially when that advice never contradicts their previous beliefs!

(Early this year I mentioned this on another thread...) conducted a small pilot study to see whether people could "assess the will of God" through prayer and find consistent answers -- specifically, concerning same-sex marriage. The result: while different participants felt they had received answers that God favored or opposed same-sex marriage, the answers always agreed with the person's prior personal beliefs! Not a single person got a "message from God" that they had been wrong.

thanks Loren, i just posted that quote on Facebook.  i love borderline Atheist quotes from well respected Americans for FB posts. 

The one big difference with being an atheist, is that we are neutral. This meaning we have no religious agenda that affects our thinking or actions (unless you are anti-religious or militant). While we have representatives of different denominations already in office, once again, this brings us to our argument of separation of church and state - ALL CHURCHES!.

Technically, we shouldn't even know what personal beliefs politicians have. But unfortunately most push their personal agenda on others therefore it is imperative that we do know, Romney being a perfect example because mormons are just batshit crazy but I think that his passion for riches and money far more outweigh his religious views.

"S.E. Cupp has failed the test.  she gets an F minus for her comment."

Let's not be so hasty. She's thinking outside the box, pushing the envelope. That deserves special mention.


I give her a G

lol.  i'd say she is outside the box.  the box that includes Atheists.

What a ridiculous statement. Someone who does not represent 5+% of the population should not be President? What if someone who is a natural-born citizen who is of Indian ancestry (they are around 5%) wants to run for President. Should he/she be automatically D.Q.ed because I.A.s are of that percentage? Another thing where Cupp screwed up is that the President represents 100% of the population.

you'd think that if she was really an Atheist she would have thought about that.  it's a basic line of thinking that she seems unable to see. 

First off, I am of the humble opinion that S.E. Cupp is not an atheist. She is a shill, snake oil salesperson, phony front girl, and mouthpiece for the religious conservative right wing. What better person can the right wing agenda, fueled by religious fanaticism, put out as a front person. Drum roll maestro - AN ATHEIST! And, an "atheist" that agrees with every nonsensical, illogical, slimy thing they promote. An "atheist" that doesn't like or approve of atheists.  An "atheist" that promotes religious values. An "atheist" that wishes she had the gift of faith. Puhhhh-leeeeze!!!! At least the alleged child prostitute customer Rush Limbaugh, and uneducated screaming skull Shawn Hannity - as scumy as they are - have more honesty in their little finger than this bitch.

you're right, she sure doesn't sound very "Atheistic" to me. 

I agree - probably a phony atheist.
