I cannot see their issue as anything other than paranoia about what non-believers are actually like.
As an athiest I have been treated worse than a satanist would (at least they believe god exists!) by some christians because of this bizarre idea that we want to corrupt everyone and lead you all astray.
If I were part of an athiest group I would have no problem voting for a religious believer as leader if I thought they were the best person for the job.
If I didn, I simply wouldn't vote for them.
I certainly wouldn't exclude believers from the group.
Put it like this russ, lets say you due to other commitments couldn't spare the time to be leader, and all the other christians in the group were halfwits and nincompoops who couldn't organise a baptism in a chapel, and there was one non-christian who you knew was fair, and respectful, and sensible and had great leadership skills and wouldn't organise brothel nights, would you really vote for a nincompoop over her?
