The US president is not isolated in her/his religious commitment. So, a true religious individual WILL further his/her religious beliefs in office. So, what would be best for america? You cannot avoid this question no matter how much you play down its significants.

Secular humanism. Put people and practicality first, and let the citizenry worry about their own souls.

Most of the founding fathers were not deists by the way, only Thomas Jefferson. People of all religions can make wise governing decisions. There is no one ideal religion for the president.

Most of the Founding Fathers were Deists or Unitarians. They believed in the existence of God, but didn't think that any of the organized religions had any real clue as to what God wanted or what God's plan was. I think that's a good thing in the President: we trust in the power of a benificent and merciful God, but we're going to make law based on one person's interpretation of some fanatic's view of what God wants us to do.
For those of you who think the USA was founded on principles of fundamental Christianity, see the link.

Why should he have to isolate his? He should keep his religious beliefs out of it.

No religion. Their beliefs are their own and should NEVER be a part of policy making.

to legislate what religion the president of the u. s. should follow is as bad as having him try to tell you what religion to follow.
religion is a matter of personal choice and conscience.

Anything religion but radical islam. As a Christian though, i would hope for a Christian president who would defend principles that i believe in.
