Since state and church/religion are separate all of the religious options are irrelevant and race is irrelevant.

So I vote for someone who can understand that you can be religious but keep it to yourself and your church and not being in my face about it....has no need to discriminate people just because they do not agree with their way of life....is capable of respecting others religious beliefs or lack of them....have no intention of making women into 2nd class citizens...their sexual orientation is non of our business as long as they are a competent leader.

Had you allowed one to say none of the above, I might have voted in your heavily weighted poll. I can't take part in things that are so racially and religiously leaning. I could vote for a number of your people if they were able to hold the job but just won't take part in this thing.

I know that you hate people of faith, but you can at least try to make sense - to my knowledge most evangelical Christians don't hate America - many Muslim extremists do.
