Whether people like it or not, religion is a part of who we are. If you're Aethiest, you're religious on not being religious. Would you vote for a Luciferian (Satan worshiper) for the sake of being diverse? Be honest with yourself and with this answer. Would you vote for a Jew, Muslim or a Buddhist? Would you vote for an Austrian whos father was a Nazi? Do you think it's a fair to ask what religion the candidate practices? Please be honest.

It does if you are sincere about your beliefs. See, most Christians will vote for the person whom represents their beliefs, thoughts and goals for the Nation. We vote more against wholesale abortion, taxation without representation and someone who will support the vast majority of the citizens.
Others support special interest groups like, the Unions, PETA, Green Peace, Right to Lifers, any and all welfare groups, and people with their hands out. Their approach is take from the workers and give to the lazy people who don't want to work.
Do you really think the Unions are pro America???
If you research seperation of Church and State, I think you will find that our founding Fathers wanted to make sure we did not have a State supported Church of Religion. In England, the Anglican church is the State Church.
If all the people who claim to be Christians vote, this nation would be better off. Politicans would then know that if they didnt do what the people who sent them to office wanted, they would be out of a job. Problem is, most people wont go vote, because they think it wont make a difference.

Most people vote for the same canidiates (or Party) election after election hoping for a different outcome. Whether their 'religion' has anything to do with it, hasn't made any difference.
Public service is a brief civic duty, not a career. If voting changed things, it would be illegal. Never re-elect anyone.

Yes but no to the extent people think. I consider myself a Christian. I am a registered Democrat but do not always vote that way. I think it is fair to ask, yes. Should be nothing to hide. I don't think to most people it is any more of a concern than asking your views on an issue. I probably would not vote for someone that is any one of the things you listed. Why? Because I believe differently. If you don't share beliefs with the candidate, why would you vote for them?

The only concern I have with religion when voting is making sure I don't vote for someone who thinks their religious ideas should be made into law that affects all of us. Other than that, I don't really pay much attention to it.

I'm agnostic, and would vote for whoever I feel best expresses my concerns for the country. I could care less about the religion of the candidate as long as s/he had good morals.

Vote solely upon their religious beliefs? No, I wouldn't. I would only ask them to keep their religion to themselves and not implement it into gov't. As many people do not believe what they do.
And I would vote for the person whoever I agreed with most.

Not mine, and I disagree with your assessment of Aetheists. That's like saying a vacuum is familiar with air because they don't have any?

I will vote for whoever has my values and an agenda I can agree with.
