As an American Jew, I’ve known all my life what you are now discovering; that in the United States anyone who is not a Christian is a barely tolerated heathen. I’m not bitter about it; it’s just the facts of life about living in a country where 90 percent of the population is of a faith whose principle tenet is that all persons of any other faith are heretics who will burn in eternal hellfire.
But to answer the question: I have no doubt that the United States will never, ever, elect a non-Christian president. After all, JFK was Catholic, and he faced an awful lot of criticism as a heathen.
