Ben Carson Sells Out Evangelical Leaders: 'We're Not Choosing The Preacher-in-chief'

Donald Trump is an Atheist.

Now the Christian right wants to back an atheist for president?


Dr, Ben Carson unintentionally explained to MSNBC how Evangelical leaders have just become a typical Republican special interest group, not caring about their religious values.

it's just "atheist". We are not a cult, religion or formal group or organization. No need to capitalize it.
The term literally means "absence of religion or god(s)".

Being an atheist is a well thought out, intellectually rigorous position to hold. Therefore by definition, Donald Trump cannot possibly be an atheist.
