No.
It isn't that I care about his or her faith -- I don't. The reason I would not vote for such a candidate is that I have had discussions with someone who does hold such views, and that person is absolutely intractable in his belief.
I believe our president must be flexible in his or her viewpoints, and I fear such inflexibility would be disastrous for our country. (Well, our current "president" is a fine example of such inflexibility.)

It is not scientifically accurate but may have some sense of historical accuracy. The personal beliefs of a political candidate regarding religion does not play a part in my decision unless they use that as a primary issue in their campaign or give me reason to believe that their religion will come before the good and will of all of their constituents regardless of their religious beliefs.
They can mention their beliefs briefly but generally they don't matter anyway.

Oh hell no. I take into consideration whether or not the candidate I'm voting for believes in fairy tales. That should give me a pretty good idea of how they're going to run the country.
If all the candidates profess a belief in the unbelievable...then I move on to the next important issue to me and select from the lesser of the 4 evils.

If your asking me if i would vote for a candidate who believed in all basic laws and morals of man kind. Then yes I think i would want a president that would be able to follow the basic laws. Like not comiting adultry.

Depends on how that person applied his beliefs to his politics.
I believe that the Bible is historically and scientifically accurate. I also believe it to be the inerrant word of God.
But, then again, so does Satan. So it really depends on who that person applied the Word.

Vice someone who thinks the Bible is full of lies and manufacture by man?
I take the first.
It all depends on how he stands on other issues.

It doesn't matter as long as they believe in the separation of church and state and that science class in public school should be taught separately from religion and philosophy.

No. They might misinterput the book of Revelations and take it upon themselves to get the ball rolling so to speak.

No, but don't all the candidates have to include that bunk in their rhetoric? I guess some might really mean it, but I doubt it.
