Being a Christian is not and never has been a requirement for political office in this country. If that is your criteria then please do the country a favor and don't vote -- ever again.

“We have not government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” John Adams - US President

Why don't you do the country a favor and move to Iran or Pakistan.

You may be surprised to find this in the Delaware Constitution of 1776:

Art. 22. Every person who shall be chosen a member of either house, or appointed to any office or place of trust . . . shall . . . make and subscribe the following declaration, to wit: "I ________, do profess faith in God the Father, and in Jesus Christ His only Son, and in the Holy Ghost, one God, Blessed for evermore; and I do acknowledge the holy scripture of the Old and New Testaments to be given by divine inspiration."

"A history buff and one who believes in strict construction when it comes to the constitution. "

So certain "unalienable rights" in our D of I are no longer? I would say that the Liberty we have been given by God allows me to vote my conscience which is driven, not by my "religion" but by my faith so I think I will vote and probably along the same lines as you.
