It shouldn't matter what religion a candidate is!

All the candidates are Christian, or at least profess to be, so the answer is yes. However I would not vote for a candidate that felt his religious beliefs should be imposed on me through governmental actions.

I would not vote for an Evangelical Christian, as they promote reenacting the Crusades. While I would prefer for a candidate to be available who isn't a Christian, that simply won't happen, so I intend to vote for a moderate Christian (somebody who isn't a supporter of the Crusade and at least somewhat respects the Constitution and the 1st Amendment).
When freethinkers are the majority, I will not vote for a Christian, moderate or otherwise. In the meantime, I have no choice but to find a moderate Christian to vote for.

As an atheist, I don't really have a choice do I? The question you should be asking is, " Would you vote for an atheist candidate?" I bet you would get an unbelievable amount of Christians who would say no to that question. Its funny how church and state are supposed to be separate, yet an atheist candidate wouldn't stand a shot in hell at becoming president.

T begin with, Christianity is just a religion. There are no limitations when it comes to politics. That means, anyone who feels that the candidate has what it takes can vote.
To end with, everyone has the right to take part in any kind of election as long as they feel that they have what it takes.Also, if they qualify to stand as candidates.
so, yes i would vote for such a candidate because elections know no region.

Considering we have not elected a President in this country how has ever professed to NOT being a Christian (vice Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Pagan), I don't see the sense in the question. Most here are too young to remember that Jimmy Carter wore his faith on his sleeve.

A person's religion is not a factor in my voting choices. The important thing is that the candidate is able to do the job to which he/she is being elected. I do, however, become concerned about candidates who broadcast their religion all over the place. That makes me feel very uneasy - like they're using religion to get votes.

If the candidate in question new better than to mix his/hers personal belief's with their duty to sworn office, sure I would vote for one, if I believed them qualified in the first place for the office in question!

Most of your Presidents have been Christians. Catholic/Christian or another religion,, but the are mostly Christian...I don't think that has anything to do with running a country.
