Not me. Separation of church & state.

Not me. The constitution separate church and state for this reason. Also, it says that no man (or woman shall have to endure any religious test or requirement.
As far as I'm concerned any American that thinks religion should be a focus in politics is opposed to the constitution.

Are you mad, they already tell a bunch of lies about politics and values, and now you want them to use religions to get elected...
You should sit down and wait until your crisis has passed...
Normally there is 3 things you must avoid to talk with others if you are serious about friendship, the first, politics, the second, religion, and the third... You don't need to know the third, it will give you another bad idea...

Absolutely it should be. Religion is very important to many, many people. After all, a recent USA today poll shows 2/3 of people believe Creation over evolution. It also gives people a way to relate to the candidates in a way that is very personal. Knowing where a candidate stands religiously will heavily influence many voters. Knowing where a candidate stands does NOT incorporate church and state.

Yes, definitely asked.
For those worried about it due to Romney's Mormonism....if they did not ask him about it, he would never have the opportunity to defend himself in regards to it, and that would be far worse for him in terms of the election than he having to answer it.
What religion our President has is more than a legitimate question. This person is going to have alot of power if they win. They will be able to send your sons and daughters to fight and possibly die. They will be responsible for signing and vetoing law based upon their morality. Religion is not insignificant as to these things.
If a candidate does not want to answer it they should simply say they do not want to answer it (which would be a bad move indeed).

separation of church and state...
someone in a position of power over others should make the choices on the grounds of law, common seance, and that's it
this country was founded with the freedom of religion.
so the government should never use religion to sell themselves. and the "if you don't believe what i believe than
your evil " that has no place in politics

Shows you how far this country has slanted to the religious side. Prayer and faith in a debate. It's outright ludicrous.

Definitely no...that could still be one of things not screwed up in this country. We all get to have our own religion, and still live to gather with out forcing ones view down an-others throat.

No,the focus should be on immigration,that's where your children and your children's children will be paying for decades,and in my view,anyone that is for this insane bill created in secret by Ted Kennedy and his gang should be kicked off the stage,starting with John McCain for being part of that gang

It depends on the context. In the context of rituals & dogma, no, in the context of ethics & morality, yes.
