Taking into consideration that the US was founded on the bible, there is no chance a non-Christian president will ever be elected.
I respectfully disagree with your premise! Even though there are many religious believers here, this is NOT a Christian country. Please consider the following:
The word "God" does not appear in the U.S. Constitution. (The Preamble invokes the authority of "We, the People" rather than God.)
"[N]o religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States." Article VI, U.S. Constitution, 1787.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . . ." U.S. Constitution, Amendment 1, 1791.
" . . . the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion . . ." Article 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli, signed into law (with Senate ratification) by President John Adams, 1797.
"I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between Church & State." President Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Danbury Baptist Association, 1802.
"We are teaching the world the great truth that Govts do better without Kings & Nobles than with them. The merit will be doubled by the other lesson that Religion flourishes in greater purity, without than with the aid of Gov." James Madison, Letter to Edward Livingston, 1822.
I could go on all day. But you get the picture.
