Corruption is unjust according to most religions. We wouldn't have corruption in a man if we had a true Christian, Muslim, or anyone who was faithful to a reasonable moral system. (I didn't include other religions because I am terrible at spelling). If anything a more faithful population wouldn't be as corrupt, atheism makes no strict claims on morality for the most part so it is completely based in personal philosophy which is just as questionable, and more self centered. Corruption is also a personal affair so blaming a person for a religion or someone elses folly is simply silly. Besides you philosophically disagree with Christians so you would obviously want a person who shares in that specific moral belief to be your leader, which is wanting a sort of religious leader to destroy another religion in just the same way.
I call bullshit on this.
A "true" Christian can be just as badly corrupted as anyone else. As was pointed out both in this thread AND in the Bible, everyone makes mistakes and screws up. "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God" right?
There is nothing wrong with having faith or belief. However, you are wrong in assuming that atheism has "no strict claims on morality for the most part so it is completely based in personal philosophy which is just as questionable." Even within religious groups personal philosophy is often more important than the philosophy of the group. Why do you think there are so many sects and splinter groups in almost every major religion?
Personally, I think that "eastern" philosophies are more conducive to effective and fair government. Not to mention they are much less selfish than most "western" philosophies.
