Excellent post. It’s amazing how people forget about the First Amendment. I myself am sick of religion in the political spectrum altogether. I’m voting for a congressman/Senator/President, not a deacon/minister/pope/whatever.
I know some people base their votes solely on religious appeal and that’s their right, but I could care less what “religion” a candidate belongs to. I thought, we as Republicans, stood strong for the Freedom of Religion clause. As time goes by, however, and the more people I talk to, I think people understand it solely as the Freedom for MY Religion clause.
A persons religious beliefs, like it or not, goes to the core of who a person is.
