I do not think that it should matter to me. I am not voting for a religious figure. I am voting for the person whom I feel has his/her priorities in order as far as our country is concerned. I will admit that I'm curious about his/her spirituality but I believe that is a personal issue not a political one.

I would prefer a President with deep religious beliefs, but it isn't necessary for for someone to be a good leader. I'm sure Osama bin Laden is deeply religious and has an abiding faith in God/Allah, but I sure wouldn't want him or anyone else who lets his religious beliefs cloud his good judgment and common sense and dictate his actions as the leader of my country, no matter if he were Christian, Jewish, Islam, Hindu, Buddhist, or what ever else he might be.

Only to a certain extent. A person can be a wise and good leader, but not be particularly religious or of the same faith as me. And a person can be so religious, that he/she lets faith blind him/her to anything but what is dictated by that faith. We see way too much of that in middle eastern countries now days. We also see it in our country when leaders let their religion dictate their leadership decisions because they can't comprehend that they might be wrong and that they are going against the greatest good for their constituents.

A candidate's religious perspectives and practices shouldn't count number except they comprise something unlawful. whilst Joseph Smith Jr became into campaigning for US President, his Mormonism became into properly an argument - he practiced polygamy even because of the fact the federal government became into enacting rules against it. i in my view would not opt for somebody who's the two the astounding capacity in a spiritual sect and carry the utmost political place of work of the country.

I guess the appropriate answer should be yes. However My answer is a resounding NO. I will vote for the person who has the conviction to do the job right.
That's because human beings have the propensity to screw up, regardless of their faith then expect to be exonerated because of it. Acknowledging and taking care of the needs and concerns of its citizens is what is important to me.

I don't think that should really matter in deciding who is to be president. I mean they should have good morals and be a nice person but I don't think religion should be even discussed. I think people are looking at that and not even paying attention to the issues they should be paying attention to.

it only matters to me if it seems that that is the only thing that a candidate will base his or her decisions off of. i'm an atheist, and the last thing i want to see is a president who vetoes gay marriage because, "god said so".

It does if he is going to make decisions based on his personal beliefs

As long as that candidate's mind knows this ship must stay afloat.
