A little bit before Armageddon.

When will Australia have an atheist prime minister?

Who's to say we don't already have one? The question isn't will Australia have an atheist prime minister, it should be, will Australia have an openly atheist prime minister. As far as political strategy is concerned - not in the near future.

Deakin was some buddhist nut

But why does this matter? You atheists feelin lonely? Seeking frens in high places? We Christians have the highest fren imaginable. The PM is nothing

Yes Iron, as a matter of fact, I have felt a decisive lack of frens (sic) lately...

Personally, I don't really see how the religious standing of the PM matters. The majority of them are Christians, but that doesn't seem to hold a great deal of sway over their actual policy-making ability, so it's not really an issue either way, as far as I can see.

I reckon over half the people there are at least atheists/agnostics.

Anyone in a cabinet position is probably "silent" about it though, for political reasons.

I look forward to the day where you an openly mock religion as a politician and publicly state you have no faith, just as many politicians currently glaunt about their faith...

it aint fair.

Atheists, as ive said, if youre interested in surviving as a movement, i'd recommend you drop the arrogance......let's keep the discourse civil and genuine, rather than cheap and dirty

You're one to talk:

Then fuck off Riet u arsehole

How very christian of you.

I think that the atheist movement can do quite well for itself without your advice thanks very much.

Arrogance has been one of the formost features of Christianity over the last millenia. The basic assumption that your beliefs are superior, empirical facts that should be forced upon everyone else at sword or gun point.

Now, I'm not saying that you are partial to witch hunts or crusades. However, I would question why you and millions of others support an institution, based upon fabricated fairytales created 2000 years ago by a bunch of bearded, uneducated people desperate for the meaning of life, that has persecuted and murdered and bribed and stolen and lied and manipulated and generally been the "bad guy", all in the name of "faith", a flimsy, whimsical and primitive concept that humanity is surely better than!
