Did others find that politically, regardless of others factors, that conservative religious entanglements were essentially a deal breaker? That those ignoring church/state separation and making their religious agenda a priority could immediately be dismissed as having any credibility regarding their secular duties as elected representatives. It's most maddening that they would even consider that the business of the state in any form.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Absolutely. Separation of church and state was written into our constitution. Ignoring that, and trying to change it, are part of the reason we're in the state we're in. I don't care what anyone believes as long as they don't try to insinuate it into our government. I remember when there was a fear that Kennedy was going to try to turn us all Catholic. Recently, there were people who SAID they thought Obama was gonna make us all Muslim. Hard to believe that people can be that stupid, but the evidence is there.

I believe it was an issue with Mitt Romney. IIRC, there's some LDS doctrine about getting into power by downplaying the fact that the Mormon "prophet" still calls the shots.
It spoke of an eventual Mormon theocracy prophesied.
