No - I think if you watch for clues - like the answers to certain questions and body language that someone shows when answering certain questions will give the clues to show if that person is truthful or not, mean spirited or not. A person may not be involved deeply in the practice of a religion - but can be a deeply spiritual person.

I was going to answer no. Then giving it a second thought I would have to say yes. I would not vote for a Muslim candidate. I don't believe it is racism [or would that be another type of ism?], but, I, feel that the adherents of that religion would support each other even over the best interests of the United states.

Yes it does. If someone is Catholic, I know that they will be pro life, and unless they say publicly that they are pro choice, I would not vote for them. But, if it came down to 2 people of the same religion, I would compare how each matches up to my own personal views and vote for them

relies upon on the guy i'm vote casting for (or no longer vote casting for). often, i'm detached. for example, in the communicate over whether or no longer Barack Obama become a Muslim, my opinion become, "why does this make the slightest little bit of distinction to something?" whether, if a flesh presser is working on a platform of furthering non secular impact on Washington, it motives me countless situation. Economically, i've got confidence that taxes could play a place in getting us out of this rut that we are in. in certainty, we decreased taxes, then went to conflict, and by surprise we won't decide the place all the money went. that's like asking your boss for a alleviation in pay, shifting to a bigger living house, and being shocked once you won't be in a position to arise with the non-public loan. Socially, i've got confidence the government could play no place previous protector of rights. i've got confidence in legalization of marijuana. in certainty, the only threat with average use is getting caught or getting it laced with something. the two a style of issues bypass away whilst it turns into criminal, taxed, and controlled with the help of the FDA. individually, i've got confidence like this might save on with to all drugs (no longer the unfavorable aspects, there is a few nasty **** accessible). cope with them like alcohol. it is completely positive to apply it whenever you like, yet once you do something undesirable, and you're under the impact, there is going to be hell to pay. so far as abortion is in touch, i'm no longer partial to it, yet that doesn't provide me the dazzling to take the choice away. the subject is so gray that it is impossible to particularly set down black and white rules. Homosexuals marrying does not even somewhat impact me (or everybody who isn't gay), with a view to be of the opinion that they should not be allowed to isn't smart.

So long as they dont worship satan,and so long as they protect and perserve our constitution,and so long as they have strong morals,it doesnt matter what religion if any they follow.There are sinners AND believers in all religions!
I have a higher power and he is jesus christ,I believe in the ten comandments,I try my best to not break the cardinal rules.And I asked MY god to forgive me for voting for a president who is a member of a society that worships the devil!

I tend to like candidates who don't talk about their religion
I absolutely don't trust those that do
Its like a phrase from a book I once read "never trust a Christian" (someone who publically claims to be a Christian)
people who try to convince you of their righteousness are probably trying to pull something over on you

A person's religion doesn't bother me. However, I am very suspicious of people who are loudly or excessively religious. There is something inherently slimy about those folks.

Absolutely. Someone who shares my beliefs is going to be a better representative of my interests than someone who doesn't share them.
Unfortunately, admitting to atheism is a surefire way to guarantee you'll lose an election.

sure it does.
If someone says they are a Satanist, I would consider that in the voting booth. It is not a trump card, but it does matter.
