It's a yes from me.

We don't even have the prospect of having one that believes in doing anything other than for themselves.

As atheist as I am, at least having a PM that believed in God would leave us to hope they believed in some basic principals we can all get on board with, like compassion, thought, consequences or sharing.

Jacob Rees-Mogg is openly religious and he displays none of those traits.

The religious folk I know don't seem to possess those good qualities you mentioned though. Or, they do, just so long as you're living life in a manner they approve of.

Why would it bother you? Would you rather they werent so open about it a la Blair for e.g.? What's wrong with people expressing their beliefs anyway? Doesnt seem to stop atheists.

Please don't derail this. Time and again you've had it explained to you that atheism isn't a belief.

My issue with it is that I want a PM to answer to the citizens, not an imaginary higher power

Apologies my man, but I think that comment reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of most religious people. No matter though, off to a meeting, so just dipping a toe in this one for now at least.

I'm sorry if it offends you, I'm sure many religious folk are decent. Until you do something they disapprove of.

Irrational beliefs should have no place in public policy debate.

We have had a PM for the last 3 years who openly believes in God. Apart from the obvious concerns about her as PM have you been concerned about that?
