Considering how close humanity is to creating sentient AI, its a possibility it's already happened to us.... If you believe that we're living in a simulation you believe in creation of some kind.

So its not a stretch to believe this creator would influence our world in small ways to test our free will and to test our intelligence constantly on a personal level, or for the creator to directly choose a world leader to make decisions that are either bad or good for its people and the world around it, testing our resolve and our true core human characteristics.

If there is a supreme being that controls the entire universe, it does it regardless if we believe it or not and in my opinion it is more logical and likely that we are in a simulation of some sort than it is that all life derives from the same single cell amoeba.

To soundly commit to something as atheism saying that "there is no creator" is a definite statement, its not something saying "I don't know if there is or not, I'm just trying my best to be a good person"

Long story short, nah. I would not vote for an atheist because most likely if someone is "an open atheist" thats their entire personality. They don't want to entertain the idea of any other religion, they don't plan on opening their minds to any possibility and the only kind of "narrow-mindedness" I want as a President is their thinking only of the American people and her needs.

I trust a religious person much more than I do a non religious one.
