Actually, Timothy Noah from Slate, who absolutely hates George Bush, when asked to find one thing that he thought good about Bush named Bush's consistent expressions of tolerance towards atheism. See: http://www.slate.com/id/2109228
That's interesting, but also the wrong Bush. I was thinking about the reports that at a press conference while campainging for the Presidency, Bush Sr said: "I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots."
"No, I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God."
President George Bush, to Robert Sherman of American Atheist Press, at the Chicago airport while announcing federal disaster relief for Illinois.
Quoted in plenty places.
But he also apparently said
"I have opinions of my own, strong opinions, but I don't always agree with them. "
