People holding personal religious views does not preclude them from being, decent, honourable, and good at their job, so merely coming from that demographic, would certainly be no reason for me, as a lifelong (since 12 anyway, when I came to realise religion was not something I could reconcile with my own personal beliefs) avowed atheist, to consider them being unworthy of receiving my political support.
However, were there two candidates, equally competent in all areas, and one was atheist, and one deist, I would on principle choose the atheist, but I would never choose a less competent atheist, over a competent deist.
