    I saw the poll quoted on The "News Hour" with J. Lehrer (on Brooks, Shields debate).

    Here's more on Romney "Mormon-ism" factor.

    I really don't think being a Mormon is a big deal. The only mainstream religion that I think might be an impediment right now for a presidential candidate is Muslim.

    Ooooo. I forgot about those guys. Yeah, an atheist probably would have a hard time.

    So long as he isn't militantly an Atheist, I don't imagine he would have a problem securing the votes.

    Very few politicians are super religious.

    Sure, so long as he pops in to Church once in a while, he'd be cool. But if he were known for being an atheist, I say he'd have a problem.

    You dont have to be super religeous. But seriously, if someone said they didnt believe in God, do they really stand a chance??

    I wouldn't vote for a Mormon president. Would you vote for a guy who thinks the earth is 5,000 years old, and the Israelites had chariot battles on the Great Plains?

    Do you really think every Mormon believes all that stuff literally? What religion are you? Do you believe everything in your religion is literally true?

    Too many to risk voting a cultmember into office, yeah.

    I'm Christian, but I think Jesus was just jaykaying when he said "turn the other cheek".

    Oh wait, I'm not that big of a hypocrite. No thanks to sacred idiocy, Doctor Wayne.

    I would be fucking scared if a Mormon became president.

    Madanthony was talking about religious, and atheism isn't one.

    Don't give me nightmares!

    It's in their book, isn't it?

    Some do. Like that part in Leviticus that says that a man laying with a man as he would a woman is an abomination. Try telling them not to take it as literally true.

    I very much disapprove of a Mormon President. Mormonism/Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is a cult. It's like asking Satan himself to assume the Presidency. I'm 100% against it.
