The survey finds that 72% of liberal Democrats would vote for an atheist on the ballot. 74% of them would support a more generic “non-religious” or “agnostic” candidate.Hat/tip to Friendly Atheist.
Also interesting? 14% of those voters said they would be more likely to support an atheist while only 7% say the opposite.

GODLESS WEDNESDAY: Poll Says Atheism Is No Longer An Impediment To Elected Office
Previously I have blogged (repeatedly) about Americans uneasiness with voting for an atheist for president. However, a new survey from the American Humanist shows that progressive voters (who are pro-marriage equality and pro-choice) are happy to support an agnostic or atheist candidate for elected office.
