Congratulations, you have just officially won today's, "Most Ridiculous Anti-Religion Question" award.
It is not a honor, by the way.

Yes they should. Who decides what sound mind is? There shouldn't be discrimination of any kind when it comes to voting or anything else. Everyone has different beliefs and there is no way for the voting system to satisfy everyone.

Of course religious people should be allowed to vote, just like anyone else. What, you're going to refuse the Chief Rabbi, the Dalai Llama or the Archbishop of Canterbury to vote? And being religiously minded doesn't mean you're not of sound mind.

i live in texas and the Texas' Constitution states that an official may be "excluded from holding office" if she/he does not "acknowledge the existence of a Supreme Being." F@KING RIDICULOUS! thats like saying "if you dont believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster (peace be upon Him) you can't be a part of my club."
but i would have to say 'yes' religious people should be able to vote because most religious people are 'of sound mind'. that's the scary thing about religion. it allows people to believe en masse what only a crazy person could believe in isolation.
chris h.--"..we know what what we think is the right canidate for the job and know who god wants."
see what i mean!
wefmeister-"Absolutely not!
Only liars, murderers, thieves, blaphemers, rapists and pedophiles should be allowed to vote.
obviously being sacastic. id like to point out that many of the worst people in history were religious. denise radar was president of his church and a boyscout leader. also one of the most infamous serial killers in history known as the B.T.K. if you think religion equals morality you are sorely mistaken.

Yes but only the extremely fundamentalist crazy as hell turn or burn Christians. I think the rest of them, mostly the tree hugging bleeding heart liberal Buddhists should not be allowed.
I like my guns loaded
my beer cold
my p*ssy familiar
my nascar first row pole position
and my politics so soaked to right wing fanatics that if you strained it you could fill 50 seats of Congress with retired TV Evangelists. And have enough peter popoff left over to give everybody a Russian miracle spring water sponge bath.
but seriously religion is a choice like anything else and you cant judge yada yada yada.
so yes I believe that religious people should be allowed to vote.

People filled with the Holy Ghost are the only ones with a sound mind
2Ti 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

should non religious people be allowed to vote? considering most candidates have a religion in which they belong?

a sound mind is the one that knows that voting is waste of time.....if you are stupid enough to think a vote means something then why have every single president in history been related to either each other or the british royal satanic family?

Sound mind? OH HA.
If you don't vote you can't complain. Good luck with your thinking.
