India. We currently have a Sikh PM(religious minority, 1.3%, from wikipedia), our last President was Muslim(13.43%). There have been 3 Presidents of India, from religious minority groups below 13%.
Thats not racial minority, of course, but afaik, US is yet to have a non Christian president?

The United States has had a multi-racial society for a long time, and over the last few hundred years I think we have made strides in peaceful coexistence that few other places can replicate. Religious tolerance, however, is not our strong suit. It was a big deal when we finally elected a Catholic (John Kennedy) to the Presidency.
