A Mormon President?

I don't care what religion the President is, unless he/she starts trying to make some kind of declarations saying everyone has to be of that religion, or granting special rights to only people of that religion. Of course since I'm Pagan I'd be highly amused to see a Pagan candidate... but I'd still only vote for them if I thought they were best for the job.

As long as a president's religion did not interfere with his job the religion should not matter, with the exception of Islam and the Muslim religion. Islam is not compatible with any form of democratic government as it is a theocracy with it's own political system. If a Pagan or Wiccan was elected, I imagine those speeches would sound odd at the very least.

Why is Romney's religious belief of such importance? And when was the last time a US president got elected solely on his or her religious beliefs (although religious belief reflects a person's ideology about life)? Should a person not be considered for presidency based on his or her platform, not religious belief? What do you think would have happened if any of the former US presidents were considered for presidency based on their religious beliefs? I think focusing on Ritt Romney's religious belief is very unfair to the man.

I'd find it interesting if he or she was mormon, I'd be tickled if they were pagan (but then I'm pagan lol), a buddhist President would be interesting I think lol. There religion doesn't matter as much to me as how honest they are and how much they truly care about this country. Rather than using it like their own personal amusement park.

Honestly....I'm more concerned with someone being a " Sales-Man " running the country. Religion doesn't bother me , Until......Someone feels the need to Bring the issue up , then of course I am bound to ask what their Motives in doing so ,are. I can't stand Salesmen running the country. It makes me seriously question whom the Salesman is working for....Me , or his Favorite company of the Day ???
