Thats because a fair number of them probably became atheists because they felt they got a raw deal at some point in life... and becoming atheists is just their way of rebelling against God.
and no you dont have to be a christian to be the governor of Texas, nor do you have to believe in the "Christian God" - you must however believe in the existence of a "supreme being"... many organizations that potentially place people in leadership positions have this requirement.
The Masonic Lodge for example.
personally, i dont go to church but perhaps once or twice a year, its just not my cup of tea... but i have weighed the evidence throughout my life, and i have struggled with the question as to whether or not some supreme creator exists.
based on my own experiences, i have seen and experienced more things that point to the existence of a creator vs. things that dont.
now - thats my opinion - im entitled to that in the least.
but because i have that opinion, some Atheist will waste metric tons of oxygen screaming in my face trying to convert me to believe otherwise.
kinda funny
