Christians, would you vote in someone with different beliefs then you into office?

Yes. As long as they were pro-life. They have to have some morals for me to vote for them!

I'm an atheist, for the record.

I think that religion should not play a role in electing a leader. This is a country of diverse ethnic cultural, and religious beliefs and a good leader should not take sides in that regard. America was not founded by Christians, but by Deists, who believed there was a God, who set the world in motion, but then left the world to fend for itself and work things out without his intervention. There is a separation of Church and state, and a good leader would honor that according to the ethics our country upholds. A leader may be religious; everyone is entitled to make that choice for themselves; but as long as they kept it separate from their job, it would not matter to me what religion they were, atheist, Christian, Buddhist, Islamic, Hindu, Jainist, Zoroastrian, etc.

As long as Gov. Perry keeps his politics out of an organized religious gathering then there should be no problems. If he thinks he can turn it into a "rally", he needs to leave!! Years ago, a man who held the top position of the 700 club decided to run for president. He did not receive enough votes !!!

Well, of course. I've voted for atheists in local elections. I don't care about a candidate's religion, but about his or her political track record.

But would I vote an extremist into office? Absolutely not. I would never vote for someone who wanted to draft their religious beliefs into law. I strongly support the separation of church and state.

No, considering a person's beliefs influence various things about their character. Do not take this as discriminatory though, because I wouldn't put a person into office just for saying that they're Christian either.

I am very strong in my feelings about the fact that this country was founded on christian principles. As long as the person in office was not trying to change my religious views or those of the office or country they are governing, then I dont see where they would be an issue for myself.

Our kingdom is not of this world just like Jesus' isn't. That being said, we would vote for the person who would do the best job and have high moral standards that are compatible with God's way of life.

Yes and yes, unless they would use their power to force their beliefs on people. I really don't care if your a Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Jahova's Witness, Mormon, or an aitiest, as long as you don't force your beliefs on people. I have a Muslim and an aietheist myself, and I'm a Christian.

you are from japan why does it matter - america did vote obama in 2008 - raised muslim
