It appears however, that your response to my desire that conservatives unite without religious prejudice, is “no.”

Who did you vote for in the primary?

And why did you pick that candidate over some other candidate?

And did the candidates religious persuasion fit anywhere into your decision?

I voted for Romney. I felt that of the remaining candidates he was the best we had at the time and was the most likely to be a good executive. I was concerned about his religion for two paramount reasons, one, he has sworn an oath to obey the leadership of his church without question and two, I really don't think a "Good Mormon High Priest" is any more electable than a "Good Fundamentalist Baptist Pastor".

The secular media was not going to give Romney a pass because his beliefs are fundamentalist Mormon and all the peculiar doctrines that are the functional equivalent of believing in a young earth 6 day creation were going to be aired in a way that would guarantee that both the secular middle and the religious right would have had to think twice before pulling the lever.

I think that anyone who denies that they have somewhat bigoted views about religion does not consider religion important in their own lives.

You are a Catholic because you believe that Catholicism is true and that all other religions are inferior. If you don't believe that, then maybe you aren't that serious about your catholicism.

Romney

Thompson could not even get on the ballot in my state and Romney was the most conservative option.

Not in the least.

you believe that Catholicism is true.... If you don't believe that, then maybe you aren't that serious about your catholicism.

I believe that. I also believe that the government should not promote, or prevent the free exercise of, religion. I am also serious about conservatism, in the Reagan model.

I am a Catholic, so is Ted Kennedy. My wife is a Protestant, so is Hiillary and so is McCain and Huck. Romney is a Mormon.

Of these, I would choose Romney.
