Seriously. That's how backward-minded people in the south are...you have to have an imaginary friend to be elected. Insane.
With that said, I'm still a bit surprised that Muslims are more well-received Than non-believers by the simpletons of the country.
I suppose they may have been thinking that if the person did not "believe" then the oath of office would be meaningless.
Just a guess.
I don't really know.
