6. Hindu
7. Muslim

Answer 1

yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes for every one of them. to me, religion doesnt matter when it comes to voting for a president, as long as they would lead our country correctly. i dont want any president pushing his beliefs on the rest of the nation, which is one (of many) problems i have with our current president. i vote for a president on what he is about and what he can do for our country, not his religious beliefs.

Answer 2

Yes to all of the above. The religion of the candidate does not mean so much to me as their ability to serve this country. I'm a Catholic, but that doesn't automatically mean a Catholic has my vote. Kerry was a Catholic, and I didn't vote for either him or Bush, because I thought neither man was worthy of the highest office of our country. When I voted that year, as well as this year, the religion of the candidates was the last thing on my mind.

Answer 3

a million. Evangelical Christian - No. i don't think that even even with the shown fact that we'd share some political ideals, that this person may be independent and bypass rules to help religions different that Christianity. 2. classic Protestant (Methodist, Episcopalian ect) as long as they hadn't voted for rules against my non secular ideals. 3. Roman Catholic see above. 4. Greek or Russian Orthodox as long as they hadn't voted for rules against my non secular ideals 5.Buddhist specific! 6. Hindu specific! 7. Muslim i don't see why not. 8. Agnostic specific 9. Atheist specific 10. Wiccan/Pagan D@mn suited! :)

Answer 4

I wouldn't have any problem voting for someone because of the religion that they follow. I base my presidential vote choice on what I expect them to do with the job. Are they going to work for or against the issues that mean something to me? Are they going to able to lead the country or are they just a figure head for the Left or the Right?

Answer 5

I'd prefer Catholic or Protestant, and wouldn't rule out Greek or Russian Orthodox or Mormon. Others don't represent America, especially agnostics and atheists.

Answer 6

I would like to think I could put aside the candidate's religious affiliation IF in fact he embodied my views for what is best of the country and its people.

Come to think of it, if the candidate embodied all that I 'politically' believe in, I doubt seriously if he/she would also be an Atheist, Wiccan/Pagan

Answer 7

8 and maybe 9 if their atheism was a total rejection of the supernatural.
5 if it encompasses the philosophy only with no theism.
Church and state do not mix.
The only protection of individual freedom is a secular democracy

Answer 8

Religion is only about 1% of what I look at.

Answer 9

If their an American citizen, speak English, they abide by the laws of the US Constitution and they are a libertarian (or at least lean towards libertarian ideals) I would vote for alien who came from outer space.

In the USA we have separation of church and state. A person's religion or lack of religion has nothing to do with his/her ability to be president.
