That’s fair enough, although bear in mind that a man’s religion (or indeed his lack of it) is a major factor in determining his morals, his attidudes and in his all round worldview.

Since Mormons are pretty well integrated into American society, I don't think there is going to be a major problem here. It isn't as if Romney is claiming that we need to sacrifice virgins every fortnight to stop the volcanoes from erupting or the Sun from rising.

As far as I'm concerned, if people want to reject Romney because of his religion, then they probably also want to reject Mormons from the US for not being American enough. There may be valid reasons to reject Romney, but religious beliefs are not one of them. It seems bizarre to me that anybody would argue that a country founded by the Pilgrims should exclude candidates for non-conformist religious beliefs.
