It wouldn't matter to me, assuming they are a capable person with good values.

JFK addressed this pretty well.

Catholics are Christians and Mormons consider themselves as Christians. They both fall under the Christian umbrella regardless.

For what it's worth I'm an Atheist and liberal on most issues.

edit: I'd also vote for a lesbian black Muslim transexual turned Atheist who's also a Jew lol
So you'd vote for another person who doesn't have a clue how to lead, but as long as his sexual preference meets your criteria...


This country is a mess for this precise reason!

For starters, Christians don't want to kill everybody in America. Yes, there are Muslims who don't want to kill and who aren't terrorists, but still.

It would depend upon several things.
1. Political beliefs
2. Affiliations with questionable groups
3. Their stance on Muslim dogma

This type of post is why I will never feel safe in this country as a Jew. I keep hoping society will prove me wrong, but when so many people would not vote for someone based on their religion or ethnic background, I just have to hope that the mentality will die out before I bring children into the world.

Democracy doesn't work in a Muslim world.
Just as Islam doesn't work in a democracy. It goes against many of their beliefs on the roll of people in an Islamic state.
