How true...

The founders of our country would not allow atheists to hold office for that very reason. They had no accountability internally to anyone other than themselves.

If that were the law then that would be discriminatory, wouldn't it?
But seriously, I can't see any reason why an atheist president would be worse than a christian or hindu or whatever president.
Being atheist means adhering to the faith that there is no higher power anywhere. It does not mean having no morals, not sticking to what is right and wrong or to disrespect the people around you. You just have different points of view about faith.
It only makes bad presidents if they can't keep their faith out of their politics and then we are back at the start of the discussion.
