Gillard won't play religion card

Our new Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, has said she does not believe in God and she won't pretend to for the sake of votes.

She will no doubt lose Christian votes.

But which is better:

1.) A Prime Minister running the country that doesn't believe in God or
2.) A Prime Minister running the country that pretends to believe in God

I would prefer a point 3 but if it was a choice between 1 and 2, I would vote for 1.

Rudd went to church every week but apparently he was asked at a football match if he believed in Jesus Christ. His response was 'I am someone who goes to church regularly...'. That's right Kev. A lot of people do just go to church.
