Would be not to own atheism?
Does "would be not to own atheism" mean "would be not to admit/allow atheism"?
Background info:
While it is true that the conventional political wisdom would be not to own atheism if one were running for public office, i would be interested to know how many publicly, self-declared atheists have served as Prime Minister in London. In fact, the only Premier of a western-style democracy that i know of to own to being an atheist is Julia Gillard in Australia from 2007-2010. I fully acknowledge that religion is not the emotive issue in Europe that is here.
