Or that they are even religious at all?

I agree.
If you or I were to apply for a job the potential employer could not ask us, by law, what our religious affiliation is.
So we, the American people, are in reality hiring these politicians to serve our interests. So why are we allowed at all to ask them of their religion? I do not think it matters in the least what religious doctrine they choose to believe.

A person's religion has a lot to do with how he/she thinks. I would not want a leader that thinks that the USA should be under sharia law. As an agnostic I'd much rather live under a system lead by Christians because nowadays they don't go around cutting people's heads of for not believing the way they do.

No. Ultimately some decisions are based on the politicians moral guidance (if any) and it will never go away as long as there is religion since people can identity with politicians easier when they share the same or similar religion

It would be nice but the United States isn’t there yet. It really shouldn’t matter. A candidate's moral and ethical beliefs should not have to be tied to a religion.
