However, it's worth noting that leadership isn't solely defined by religious beliefs, but by actions, values, and the ability to unite and lead a diverse population. For example, look at President Lincoln, he led America through one of its toughest times, the Civil War, and he wasn't overtly religious. What are your thoughts on the importance of diverse leadership, not solely based on religion?

I agree, their religion doesn’t determine most of their values, but it has an overarching effect on some of it. Most leaders in Congress are Christians, and as such inflict a bias for Christian denominations and organizations. The person I responded to seemed to complain about the lack of Christian leadership despite many of our past leaders being overwhelmingly Christian. Personally, my thoughts are that we should try and just make it easier for non-Christian’s to get a chance, not by the same methods as affirmative action, but by campaigning such ideals as a society. I’d more specifically be interested in having an atheist president if we haven’t had one already, I wonder what changes they’d have in comparison to the average president.
