When you are electing a secular leader of a Secular State, pay attention to his secular political positions.

The problem with that line of thinking is that it rejects the fact the Founders never intended the US to be a secular state:

"Our CONSTITUTION was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." - John Adams (First President to live in the White House)

"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ." (Patrick Henry)

Yes, that’s why it clearly states in the Constitution that adherence to a mainstream Christian belief is a mandatory requirement for election to federal office.

Point taken. It was an imprecise choice of words on my part.

I hereby change "secular" to "nondenominational" which is exactly what the Founding Fathers intended.

United States Constitution, Article VI, paragraph 3,

" ...... no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.
