Imagine George Clooney runs for a political office (religion thread)

America's Boyfriend is an agnostic/atheist with multiple quotes on the subject. Do you think his non-beliefs would become a major issue, or would him being a mega-star outshine it?

I don’t believe in Heaven and Hell. I don’t know if I believe in God. All I know is that as an individual, I won’t allow this life — the only thing I know to exist — to be wasted.

an agnostic, he'd turn on that person and rip him a new asshole (politely, of course). And no one would ever ask him again. You know why? Because he stood up forcefully for his principles and is willing to rip out your eyeballs if you are a jerk, and he doesn't give a shit if you won't vote for him. Just seeing a candidate who isn't a panderer would be so refreshing.

If only other Democratic candidates were as courageous.

If its for dog-catcher in orange county, no. If its for dog-catcher in Tuscaloosa, probably.

He wouldn't be attacked on DU, though, for his (lack of) religious beliefs, which is nice. Of course, if he were a christian, the funsters around here would have multiple more opportunities to feel superior and attack his IQ.
