I ask this because, when I am selecting a candidate, I have never asked myself, "is this person a christian?". Shouldn't we be looking at the candidate's credentials, rather than their religious beliefs?
For instance, Pat Dobson, the founder of Focus on the Family, said of Fred Thompson, "Everyone knows he's conservative and has come out strongly for the things that the pro-family movement stands for. "[But] I don't think he's a Christian; at least that's my impression.". He goes on to say that "Sen. Thompson hasn't clearly communicated his religious faith, and many evangelical Christians might find this a barrier to supporting him."
I find it disturbing that people are basing their votes based on religious views.
This is not a knock on religion, but if you look around the world, the countries that have religious figureheads running things are usually the most dangerous places on the planet.
