Is it important to you that the President is Christian?

It personally doesn't matter to me, and it shouldn't matter to anyone else. Yes, I'm a Christian, but with the separation of church and state clause they can't act on their religion, so why does it matter? You can still be a moral, ethical person without believing in Jesus.

In answer to your question, it's not an absolute requirement for me that a candidate be a Christian.

But in response to your comment, I do require them to be totally honest about it if they're going to bring up their religion. John McCain attends a mainstream Christian church regularly and his deeds and actions show him to be a practicing Christian, even though he says that his faith is a very private thing him. That is something I believe many Christians and non-Christians alike can appreciate.

However, despite his best efforts to claim he is, Obama is "clearly" not a Christian and that is proven with his own words and deeds.

He has denied the most basic belief of Christianity; that Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to reach heaven (3). His knowledge of Christianity and the Bible are lock &step with what they teach in Islam (2) and he has proven he knows a great deal more about Islam than he does Christianity. This is because he was in fact raised as a Muslim as a child. He denies this now because he fears it would hurt his campaign, but he admitted it in his book 'Dreams From My Father'.

"In the Muslim school, the teacher wrote to tell mother I made faces during Quranic studies," wrote Obama.

Because of his required instruction in Islam in his early years he has to know that his recitation of the adhan (Shahada) , or Islamic call to prayer for Nicholas Kristof at the NYT (1), was in fact a public declaration of his Muslim faith (2). Every other Muslim in the world certainly knows it and that is why he has garnered so much support from them.

What angers him is that so many Americans know enough about Islam to recognize this. He would love to have gone through this entire campaign believing we're all stupid about Islam and buying into his "I'm a Christian" lie.

Like I said, it would have made little difference to me if he had been honest about it from the beginning. Someone who is Christian, Muslim, Jew, Buddhist, agnostic, atheist, or whatever else there is, but who's honest about it can be measured by their character (actions) and where they stand on the issues.

But a man who will lie about something as important as his religious faith just to further his political career, I have no doubt he will lie about anything.

human beings care adequate on the topic of the social subject concerns that, have been a serious atheist contender to run, he purely would not get many votes. i'm Christian yet i like adult adult males like Lieberman (CT Jewish Senator), and could sense fantastic a pair of Mormon, Muslim (Obama isn't a Muslim regardless of the shown fact that- I hate how human beings lie approximately him), or Hindu (I belive that the 1st Indian Gov'ner ever, a Republican from Louisiana, is the two Hindu or a convert to Christianity). all and sundry who's trustworthy approximately their faith is fantastic w/ me. i could particularly sense uncomfortable w/ an Atheist regardless of the shown fact that, particularly b/c subject concerns like patents on human existence fairly complication me, and except an Atheist candidate reassured me of his value device, i could prejudge him specially procedures. i are conscious of it is not proper yet i could have my apprehensions.

I would prefer an atheist, but I'm fine with anyone as long as they accept the tenets of science and aren't extremist or fundamentalist in any way.

No I dont think so,but I would like to see a Muslim or an atheist run for President or a homosexual run too.

Only Americans think about religion when looking at a candidate to such a high degree.

I would actually prefer an atheist or agnostic or someone that was "casually" religious, but that will never happen, not in my lifetime anyway.

I would not consider a satanist but all other religions are fine by me.

i would say yes, i prefer a Christian, Christian values are important to me, it reveals a lot of about your character, being atheist to me would be the worst, its shows egotism thinking there is nothing higher then yourself

When was the last time you saw McCain worship? What does he believe in????
