I admire Benjamin Franklin. But he was a Deist. Does that mean Im going to Hell because Deism doesnt mesh with my personal beliefs?What a nonsensical statement...
Are you saying there's some sort of "anti-admiration" society goin' 'round telling you who you can't personally admire?
Because if there isn't, you're addressing some sort of comments that aren't even out there floating around.

No, I'm not saying that. Apparently Mr. Prothero thinks that Christians endorsing Romney are going against their own beliefs by doing so, that they are endorsing Mormonism and forsaking their own religion for political purposes (he calls them shills for the GOP). That is what I'm objecting to: his intimation that endorsing someone whom is of beliefs that your own religion condemns is somehow apostasy.

Did you actually read Prothero's piece?
