Such as should not be atheist - if not figurehead people would care more about culturally Christian / traditional / conservative VALUES than faith.

The point is that in the USA faith is (or at least was) a reasonable signal for values.

My answer will be that a hyper-masculine nationalist even when atheist will have 90% the same values.

Due to the cultural history of the USA hyper-masculine nationalist atheists with conservative values are rare. Currently the only place to find them is in certain corners of NRx.
