I will give credit to Harper for declining to interject his personal religious views into his politics. He had been asked multiple times as PM and on the campaign trail to comment on his Christianity and would routinely decline and downplay any role is played in his political life.
I think it's part of why anti-Muslim sentiment hasn't gripped Canada the way it has in other nations. Over the last decade, Harper failed to give the religious-right a political icon to attach themselves to.
As an atheist, you're in a religion.
Come on, it's a-theistic, literally a lack of theism. I'm apolitical when it comes to the politics of Ghana. I don't participate in the Ghana political scene, I don't study Ghana's political scene, I don't know or care what's going on in Ghana, etc.
Atheists don't meet on Sundays and have picnics and ceremonies and read books and have mores etc.
Yeah, there are some atheists who have strong opinions and are politically active on some issues, but if someone goes on their daily just not thinking about it or having it affect their lives don't get up on them and say, "what's your problem with the president of Ghana?"
