This is not some game of roulette. This is real people making real-life decisions.
never mind gay politicians
Not that many have come out, you mean. Wonder why that is?
Same about atheists.
There just aren't enough atheists out there
How many are "enough"? 6% atheist/agnostic + 14% with no particular religious affiliation (http://www.alternet.org/belief/number-atheists-us-spikes-protestants-minority-first-time) makes 1/5 - as pointed above, presidents have been elected from even smaller numbers, like JFK who was Irish (the Irish are less than 2% of the population). So again, how many are "enough" for ya?
Why would a person in wheelchair have more chance, since people with difficulty walking are 19.4 million out of 318 million (http://www.disabled-world.com/disability/statistics/census-figures.php) (i.e. 6%) - which is exactly the share of atheists/agnostics (not counting those with no particular religious affiliation)? What's this ever shifting mathematical criterion that you've been using here?
it really comes down less to some sort of discriminatory action
What alternative parallel reality do you populate? There's no discrimination against minorities in the US (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrimination_in_the_United_States)!? WTF?
