    If he/she was closely aligned with my political, economic, social ideologies, I couldn't give a flyin' fig if they worshipped their dog.

    i'm no longer Christian yet a number of the solutions from a number of the Christians make me ask your self. we are no longer one u . s . under God. (the pledge is merely approximately one hundred years old, no longer in the form, and that word replace into added in the 50's with McCarthyism) look at what the Christian suited have been given in to workplace with Bush. he performed the religion card puzzling. What if Bush might have merely suggested his regulations with none non secular overtones in any respect? What if his faith replace into completely unknown and not-suggested? Then, what if Obama had no longer had any association with any church? No Rev. Wright. And the lies approximately his institutions with Islam had no longer circulated? He replace into merely John doe together with his regulations? might he be seen in yet differently? i'm no longer anti-Christian. All my acquaintances are Christian. i'm balloting for a Christian candidate and if an atheist or somebody from yet another faith have been to run i does no longer evaluate that as area of why I vote for or against them. I do merely in comparison to seeing people judged with the help of their faith. faith is merely as lots reason for bigotry in this u . s . anymore as race or intercourse and each now and then greater so.

    I would not vote for a fundamentalist of any religion because when you stray from the mainstream, you become less and less tolerant and therefore less and less accepting of others. On the other hand, I would rather vote for a muslim, satanist or a wiccan before I would vote for a pentacostal/evengelical person because I know I could trust them more.

    That would depend on what their religion was. I wouldn't vote for say a devil worshipper.

    It might. I would not vote for a Satanist or for a Muslim. That may sound racist, but I don't really care.
