In an election year, its often hard to know what to believe, and what not to believe. But what if a candidate doesnt believe in God? Its an issue that has America pretty much split. Some non-believers though would like you to believe theyre just ordinary folks.
Podcasting from Studio City, California Emery Emery and Heather Henderson are on a mission to normalize atheists and stand up for their rights.
Were not scary people, we dont worship Satan, Emery told NBC 7. We dismiss that just like we dismiss all the deities. We just dont believe in deities thats it! There are people who wont even vote for someone who admits to being an atheist.
According to a 2015 Gallup Poll 40% of Americans said they would not vote for a well-qualified atheist Presidential candidate if one were nominated by their political party.
