Would you not vote for someone due to religion?

[5stringJeff]

After reading Peggy Noonan's article today (here (http://www.opinionjournal.com/columnists/pnoonan/), thru 11/30/07), I got to thinking. Are there religions that would cause people to absolutely not vote for a candidate, like JFK's Catholicism or Mitt Romney's Mormonism? Thus, this poll.

I hold the line at Wiccans! :laugh2: Got to have some standards.

[82Marine89]

I voted Wiccan as well. I'm tired of all these Skull and crossbones, secret society conspiracy theories.

[CockySOB]

I'd prefer atheist and agnostic to be separate choices. I'd never vote for an atheist, but I don't have any problem whatsoever with an agnostic.

[Guernicaa]

Wouldn't vote for an evangelical, mormon, or wiccan.

The only one that would actually be a threat is the muslim.

I must say it really would depend on how they practice.

i dont think id draw a line anywhere. I mean naturally id probably be very hesitant to vote for a muslim, particularly in light of the war on terror. But if there was no war in terror, i would be far less hesitant if i felt they were the right person.

Id feel the same way with just about any other religion. if i feel they are the best person running and they arent militant in their desire to force their religion on us or pose any national security risk in their position, i would contemplate it. However, it seems to me that as a religious man that i would necessarily share the same values as other people so i might be less inclined simply because they share different values more than their specific beliefs in God.

Like i said, it depends.

How do you figure?

thats why i voted muslim

[pegwinn]

I don't have a definite WILL NOT VOTE FOR. I do have some that would cause me to do a double take and seriously investigate them. Muslims and Atheists come to mind.

[Pale Rider]
