We vote for elected officials in a secular government. We are not voting for pastor in chief, we are voting for commander in chief in the presidential election.
Didn’t we cast aside religious discussions about political candidates after JFK was elected in 1960?
Did anyone talk about Mitt’s dad, George Romney, and Mormonism, when he was a candidate for president in the 1968 primaries?
Did anyone talk about Joe Lieberman being Jewish when he was Al Gore’s running mate in 2000?
And the liberals put the word out in 2008 that we weren’t supposed to talk about Jeremiah Wright and Obama attending that strange church.
If everybody decides that they won’t vote for people outside their religion, who could run for office? Evangelicals are about 26% of the population of the U.S. Catholics are about 25%. Jewish are about 3%. Various other Protestant groups are about 25%. About 18% of America claim no religious affiliation at all.

I believe it was Jean Dixon, back about that time who prophecied that George Romney would be elected President in 1968.
No.
The folks who think they could win.
