John Travolta. He has a commercial pilots' licence. He owns several executive jets/airliners he has 'docked' at a small 'airline terminal'-esque building next to his home (which has a runway too).
He's a $cientologist. Your argument is invalid.
...oh, and what about pilots of Air India? The most religious country on the planet is the most secular too. They'll have pilots that are mostly Hindu, but no doubt some Sikh and even Muslim ones. Mayhaps Buddhists...?

"On another similiar note: Unfortunately, many people chose the politicians they elect mainly on the criteria if they are religious. When looking at the political developments of the last decade, this might not be the best method of determining whether a politician is qualified for leading a country ..."
Like I say above, India. The most religious country on the planet, yet ironically, politically it's extremely secular.
And as for my country, the UK, despite our state religion, the Church of England - and mention of 'God' in the oath a new MP takes when elected (thus Northern Ireland's Sinn Fein MPs refuse to take their seats in Parliament, because said oath involves loyalty to Queen Elizabeth II or whoever is the monarch), our Parliament is just as secular as India's; more so, in fact. Why?
It's a known fact that if any MP even thought in a fundie way, they'd have the Party Whip taken away from them sharpish (thus no office, aides etc; to say nothing of not advancing up the 'Greasy Pole', ultimately to a future Cabinet position). Even MPs who say they profess a religious belief know that the Party is superior. And - as far as they're concerned - the Chief Whip is Lord God Almighty. To be openly religious in our political system is a guaranteed vote-killer, thus said religious MPs say 'Yes sir, no sir, three bags full, sir' and STFU. Even if the policies of the Party go completely against their religious beliefs.
Thus an equivalent of a 'GOP' in Britain? No such political animal exists here, old boy. Good. 'Teabaggers'? Only those who make the cuppas we Brits drink in the workplace, cafes, restaurants etc. X3
Separation of Church and State' indeed. And - like I say - we have a state religion, the Church of England. Oh, the irony.
