The 22% comes from both ends of the political spectrum, to my understanding, but for different reasons. I saw on another thread where dems are actualy less likely to vote for LDS than pubs because of the general political views they perceive the majority of LDS hold, while the majority of those who won’t vote for a LDS because of their own religious views are much more likely to be pubs.

Didn’t we dispense with religious concerns after JFK was elected in 1960? What am I missing here?

When Joe Lieberman was the VP nominee in 2000, he became the first non-Christian candidate for either president or vice-president, of a major political party. Yet that fact was barely mentioned in the campaign, and his religion was a non-issue.

Nobody ever talks about Harry Reid being Mormon.

Is religion an issue only for Republican candidates for office???? Are good Democrats given a pass, because their liberalism overrides whatever religious doctrines they believe in????

More likely people are not favoring mormons because of their religious views but because of the religious views of mormons.
