Would you vote for a non-Christian or non-muslem, so on and so on if it wasn't your religion?

Answer 1

Well, my biggest problem with voting for someone that is not a Christian is that I don't feel like they believe they are answering to anyone for their actions.

Well, like Bill Clinton, I could tell from the first time I heard him that there was nothing to him. He was a liar and a scoundrel.

He promised big things and delivered nothing. Yet, he convinced enough Americans that he was doing a good job when he had done nothing constructive at all.

Now, I hear Democrats coming up with an "answer" to persuade Christian voters to vote for them. "How can we sell them on our being religious?" Since atheists make up less than 1% of the voting population... If we can get 3% of the Christian Votes in the South, we'll be able to win!!!

Yet when I hear a person claim to be a Christian and runs for office, I'm suspect also. So if it is an obvious Non-Christian and a professing Christian... I will either vote for the Christian OR not vote for either candidate.

Like we had a Sheriff that called himself a Christian, but is a sad and sorry excuse for a Deputy much less a Sheriff. I looked at the Democrat who sounded like he was just trying to appeal to the masses. I chose not to vote for either candidate.

I had a candidate for Lt. Governor who was amazing as it sounds a "Christian" attorney vs. a "Christian" lobbyist/attorney...

I went with the attorney who was a Democrat. Somehow, I couldn't come to grips with a Christian Lobbyist. I think of that as an oxymoron.

So to answer your question mostly no, but on occasion yes.

Answer 2

Yes I would, if the candidate had other characteristics that appealed to me. I assume you're talking about a "vote" of some broad importance (President/Congress/local senior-leadership, etc). I would think that the vast majority of people, making a decision in that context, would feel the same. But the real answer to your question, for you, is how much does an individual's religion matter to you in terms of your choice--and that's something you need to answer for yourself.

Answer 3

I'm Muslim, and I'd definitely vote for a non-Muslim if he/she proves to be worthy of my vote. Religious differences shouldn't play a role in our choice. Otherwise, that's like choosing your brother for, say, president when you know he totally sucks at it, but you choose him JUST because he's your brother even though you know that his opponent would make a better president.
BUT if both candidates are equally good, then I'd most probably choose the Muslim one. You vote for whomever you think is good, and I'll do the same. Simple.

Answer 4

Yes, I've done it on a few occasions as a matter of fact. It's not the person's religion that gets my vote, it's how well he can do his job and whether or not he's for the people or for his pockets.

Answer 5

Absolutely. Religion does not make one person better qualified than the next. If 2 candidates were equally capable, then I would go with the one whose religion was most like my own.

Answer 6

Yes i would !!! i would only vote for the right person and would prefer a good one from other religion over a corrupt one from my religion!!

Answer 7

I'd prefer to vote for a Christian. But there have been times when I couldn't in all conscience vote for a particular candidate, no matter what his religious preference.

Sometimes those who talk the talk aren't walking the walk. That's why God gave us discernment if we ask for His wisdom before we vote.

Answer 8

Yes, I would. I vote for the right person for the job.

Answer 9

I would vote for the right man/woman for the job

Answer 10

I would vote for the most politically qualified candidate no matter what their religious beliefs or lack of them are.
