Why do we continue to make an issue of somone's personal religious beliefs in a secular society?

I think American people have the right to question every little thing about a person who is trying to become the leader of our country. I just wish we were informed of Obama's practicing religious background before millions of voters had already cast their vote, then we wouldn't be stuck with him.

Because, unfortunately, America is not secular. I personally do not put an ounce of thought into a candidate's religion unless it degrades morality. The morality I speak of has nothing to do with religion but rather what society (in the broad sense) dictates.

i do no longer think of they worry it, yet are perplexed via what it ability to be secular. It ability NO PRAYER at college or any public supported corporation. no count if or no longer forced, no prayer. @Philip>> No, this is not any longer, you could pray on your guy or woman words in the previous a public (government)subsidized assembly. i'm going to provide you the earnings of the doubt and parent you misunderstood what I meant, you could pray in public, despite the fact that if it somewhat is a private, non state subsidized component. No invocation in the previous public city hall conferences. in case you desire to have a pray day in a public park, it somewhat is nice, despite the fact that if this is on your guy or woman time and extremely own greenback. It additionally ability changing the pledge of allegiance decrease back to a minimum of one u . s . a ., indivisible for liberty and justice for all. additionally taking in god we have faith out of the greenback. @Philip>> Do you even found out why that replaced into put in their for the 1st place, no longer because of the fact anybody unexpectedly felt an staggering faith, it replaced into because of the fact they have been terrified of communists, now that the chilly conflict is over, time to take out that previous relic. additionally, an extremely secular u . s . a . does no longer have any public investment/tax alleviation for church homes. Why could I could pay for something whose entire ideology is to transform people and pay for church issues. particular church homes provide to charity, yet they are no longer precisely charity companies are they? @Philip>> i'm properly conscious that every physique faiths get government sponsorship, a minimum of all that word for it, yet why could they? additionally, Phil, it seems which you are the clueless one.

Because there is an ongoing world wide religious war between Muslims and everyone else.

Because a lot of religious people were trained to think:

"people who think like us are good people, people who don't think like us are bad people."

A lot of voters react on a gut level to this stuff.

lmao!!!! what the hell???? the united states is the furthest thing from a "secular society".....give me a break.....

Thank you for asking!

Because it is fun to stir up sh!t.
