There's no law against it, or rigging nominations, or perjury. 

As a confirmed atheist I can't imagine why not.But the yanks are kinda funny about it.I remember the kerfuffle about Kennedy being a Catholic and look how that turned out.

As far as i know Nom,all of our liberal prime ministers are christian in Aussie,,most non christian prime ministers come from the labor side sorry to say,,labor tends to bury us and liberal builds us,,personal point of view Nom..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

Why not?  As long as he/she doesn't "preach " about their reasons and acknowledge those that do have religion. ..

No, but then again, I never thought I'd see an African-American U.S. president...and I DO mean "African" (Kenya-lol!)

I don't actually mind atheism necessarily. I may have been an atheist at one point and perhaps a person simply has not found god in their life yet or perhaps a person is living a happy life without finding god. Either way it's not offensive necessarily. Not finding God and still being happy has actually always sounded rather quaint to me to tell you the truth. But if a person tells me that there is no God. This is actually fairly ridiculous.
