[The Horrible Esthete]

There is way too much emphasis on religion in that race...it's fine if someone is religous, but I certainly wouldn't vote or not vote for someone purely because of that.

I agree, it is fine if someone's religious. But spirituality -- let alone religion -- is strictly a personal, private matter, and has (or should have) absolutely nothing to with the office of the President of the United States or any other public office.

And I certainly would vote AGAINST someone whose platform rests too heavily on "God" issues, or caters to the interests of the Evangelicals. Plain and simple.
