A recent Pew Foundation survey finds that more than 60% of voters in the 
United States say they would be unwilling to vote for presidential candidate 
who does not believe in God. So if Buddhism is a non-theist religion, I 
reckon we may have to wait a while for America's first Buddhist president. 
(I'm glad I learned this before declaring my candidacy.)
