Do the religious beliefs of a president have to do a lot with the way he/she leads the country?

Question

Another question would be if its even relevant to focus on what religious beliefs a president, or future president, has?
We have had many presidents with various beliefs and faiths, but does their faith (religion) have to do a olot with the way the govern?
Why or why not?...

Ok, bksooy, the president does not run the whole country but does have a lot to do with major decisions.

Answer 1

A president's religious beliefs UNFORTUNATELY do have some power over the way he/she governs. Just look at Bush... due to his Christian beliefs and the fact that he wants to appeal to the religious right, he wants to ban gay marriage, outlaw abortion, and give federal funds to private church organizations. It's complete BS.

An ideal president would NOT let his/her religious beliefs influence the way he/she runs the country because he/she would realize that there are many religions and even non-religious people (like myself) who don't share his/her views.

The sad fact is that a lot of people do judge by religion. For instance, people are hesitant to support Mitt Romney because he's a Mormon. That's really irrelevant to me. The reason I don't support him is because he's a conservative Republican who believes in the unlawful detainment of innocent people. In short, he's a tool, and I don't vote for tools.

Answer 2

The Presidents religious beliefs have eveything to do with the decisions that he makes. President Bush believes as religiousily as does bin Laden concerning his religion. This was is about religion; oil is just a bonus! If you knew anything about the prophesies of the Bible, you'ld be prone to understand that our President, working under the council of Pope Benedict of Rome, is working towards subjugating the nations that will not bow down to the roman catholic church. The U.S. christian likes to believe that they are separate from the RRC, because thier foerfathers sailed over here on a ship from England to get away from the murderous tendasies of the Pope of Rome! However, although they may be Protestant, they still follow that laws of the catholic church rather thatn the laws of the scriptures. Thus, Sunday worship meetings instead of Saturday, as its commanded in the Bible. The protestant christian doesnt realize that every time they meet on sunday they are being obedient to the laws of roman catholism rather than the puire laws of YAHWEH! Thbis is the mark of the beast as described in Rev. 13. The regecting of the Bibles laws in relation to the traditions of man is the mark of the beast!!! satan has the entire religious world decieved & carrying that mark right now, & people don't even realize it! Thats why thier almost ready to annialate 13rd of all mankind over 1/4 of the earth right there in the middle east region around the river euphrates! Rev.9! Everything that you read in the news papers today can also be read n the prophesies of the Bible! These are Biblical times!!! May YAHWEH bless your understanding!!!

Answer 3

Religious beliefs play an enormous part in any politician's political stances. Someone's belief of whether a thing is right or wrong religiously obviously affects his or her opinion of it politically.

If a politician subscribes to a religion which adamantly requires different roles for men and women, or for members of other religions, his opinions on how to handle these matters politically will be affected, for example. Their views on anything from abortion to the death penalty will be affected.

I believe that government and religion must be kept separate in order to ensure the freedom of all of our citizens. Unfortunately, Bush's insistence on backing up political statements with religious opinions has made it acceptable for candidates to openly profess they will bring their religion to the White House and other offices rather than attempt to represent all Americans.

Mitt Romney won't be an advocate for Baptists, Wiccans, Muslims, or other religious Americans whose religious beliefs differ from his. He will apply his faith, which affects his political positions, and it will make a difference.

Answer 4

Most of our Presidents have not let their religion interfere with the way they have performed their duties as President. A very few have; this makes us wonder about all of them as we go to the polls to vote. This may be the reason there are so many questions in Y/A on this subject.

Answer 5

Yes the Republicans do, they all want to over turn Roe Versus Wade. But, you see they run women down for wanting have the right to choose , let me tell you something. Men are the ones that are the blame for all these abortion's, they want to get girls in that bed fanning them covers and are to tight to use a birth control and when the girls get pregnant and tells them. Not all but a biggest majority will say, "That's not my baby, I heard one on TV tell a sweet little pretty girl, "If you want to find your babies daddy first start looking on that Million Man March". That is the sorriest thing I have ever heard. The man has a choice just like a woman but they don't use that choice because their to tight and don't think right, theiir mind is on one thing constantly and then when it happens they are so surprised.
You men say , "Those women get those abortions killing those little innocent babies, who put them babies there, only a man has that authority, but yet they'll say, "Oh, I think abortion is terrible that stem cell is killing babies". You are the ones that plants that seed without you there wouldn't be a baby to abort because women don't produce the sperm that gets those babies, you do. You either keep that zipper zipped up or you use some type of Birth Control yourself and that means , You have right to choose, so choose it before it ever happens. Your just don't care and to tight to buy what you need , so you take the blame , MISTER'S.

Answer 6

It technically should not but sometimes does. I think as long as the decisions you make are based on what best for your people and not your beliefs alone than it's not a big deal.

Now if your using your beliefs to justify control of the people than that's not right.

Answer 7

that's the least substantial high quality for a president of an earthly society. generally situations that's the open sesame for unaccountable tyranny. If in straight forward terms human beings discovered their historic previous and knew approximately Robespierre's reign of distinctive function the place he tried to impose a civic faith in France and placed to dying all of us who did not save on with we nonetheless does not be having stupid questions being published like this one right here.

Answer 8

How can we believe that liars are honestly supporting their religion?

Countless presidents have links to various satanic groups like skull & bones, freemasons, illuminati. Check out this video, for a look at the symbolism within our government.

What they say doesnt matter. It is what they do that makes the president.

Answer 9

How could they not?
Of course it's relevant - everything about the person is relevant.
You're asking if it's possible to remove/separate yourself from your beliefs. Do YOU think this is possible? Anybody you know of been able to do this successfully for at least four years?

Answer 10

The present regime is figurheaded by one G.W.Bush. This is a man who changed religions a total of 11 times. Each time for social or political advantage. The only thing he believes about religion is "It's a damn good tool."
