What if an athiest was running?
Or a muslim?
Or a scientologist?
Re #3:
When that happens and they’re a major candidate we can cross that bridge.
What if Arnold Schwarzenegger really wanted to be a Mormon and was living his polygamist fantasy?
Excellent point - romney/huntsman's beliefs are part and parcel to the whole package. Their judgement in this matter SHOULD be considered - especially since the prophet Joseph Smith was as bad, if not worse, than the prophet Harold Camping - and a fundamental requirement for a temple mormon is to acknowledge that smith was THE true prophet.
Given the block voting for romney by mormons (>90% voted for romney in the primaries) - they viewed religion as a deciding factor - and not his rino background.
Any candidate’s espousal of any false religious worldview, such as Mormonism, is a matter of concern and a legitimate topic for discussion.
Is there anything in the Constitution that states that atheists, muslims or scientologists cannot run for the presidency?
I know that the Dutch and British constitution prohibit a Catholic from becoming a ruling monarch.
