“For some candidates their religion and their fitness for office are very closely linked.”
It’s a slippery slope to go down that road. We could have faith vs. faith..... denomination vs. denomination and eventually people of faith will be fragmented - like we need more.
It’s not enough to fight off the Dems, the media and the secular progressives?
I’m sure that Jimmy Carter was probably the most “Christian” of any recent Presidents.
He still sucked as President.
I don’t think it is necessarily a slippery slope. The differences between Mormonism and mainstream Christianity are much more vast than just denominational differences.
I am not a Pentecostal but would fully support Palin for president.
I would have a hard time voting for a Conservative who was an atheist as well. Faith is a factor for me, and for many other conservatives, we want someone who shares our worldview.
For me, my allegiance to Christ comes before politics.
