    He’s very likely the first truly Atheist President this country has had, which makes me mad that it was a piece of shit like him and not a better representative, someone who was an Atheist for intellectual reasons and not because they’re just a massive narcissist.

      Well, at least he wasn’t that publically.

      I feel like “atheist” implies that he’s given religion one iota of critical thought, beyond how it can benefit him personally.

      Maybe I’m splitting hairs, but I’d classify him as irreligious as a result of indifference and his narcissistic inability to comprehend that there can be anything greater than him.
