I would not vote for someone with an open religious agenda. We can get good ideas in other areas from people without one.

If their open religious agenda is to get the " god" out & off, then I would consider that as a plus.

What good ideas? What other areas? What religious agenda?
Most religious agendas start with suppressing people who have my genitalia, so, yeah, I probably would vote against someone who stood up and said they were going to follow their interpretation of their sky pixie's words instead of the words in the constitution.

A religious agenda? That would be a no for me.

I wouldn't. There are a couple of congressmen that I like that are Christian. If I was in their district I would vote for them. Rand Paul, Thomas Massie, Justin Amash to name a few.

Anyone who say's god told them to run is a no vote . Any one who uses the god card is out . I don't care what religion someone is as long as they keep it to themselves .

Only if rigid evangelical trying to push religious agenda on the rest of us

I'm not a 1-issue-voter. I look at the views of candidates for as many different issues as I can. I also look at what kind of person they are.

During the 2018 election, my US Representative (an incumbent Republican, also very Christian but that info is pretty much a redundancy when it comes to the South) was being challenged. I live in a heavily conservative district (it sucks!) so there was very little chance the Democrat would win. Well, after looking up this guy (the Democrat), I found he had been convicted of a DUI 3 months before the election, made racist comments, and said he hated the county he lived in. Definitely not someone I want to vote into Congress. I don't believe the Republican incumbent ever brought this up during the election which showed some class. So despite not sharing any views politically, I voted for the incumbent.

I usually just go over their platforms on the issues and disregarded their religion, always trusting that they'd continue to keep church and state separate, as they're supposed to.

Now it looks like I'll have to factor their faith in too.

Depends on whether they can state what a belief really is and that it doesn't influence political decisions favoring such groups...and don't use it as a campaign crutch for votes. I think that they should even be barred from using any referencing of any religion. Faiths and beliefs do not belong in politics, history of war says so, for religion is a big catalyst of antagonism, rulers have used them for years for wars.

It depends on the particular religious agenda. If it means institution of theocracy, hell no I wouldn't vote for that person. But in that case I cannot imagine any possibility of agreeing with any other agenda of theirs.....

If it means that they want to slightly raises taxes on all atheists, but they want to create universal health care, and there are no other candidates to do it, then yes, probably. For one thing, the atheist tax will be stricken as unconstitutional, and the universal healthcare is a great thing to create.

Boot edge who?

I would not discount voting for someone solely on grounds of religious beliefs. I would look at the whole person and their actions. Coming from Northern Ireland I’ve seen where judging people solely on religion gets you. We are still digging our way out of that hole.

I would definitely not hold someone’s religion against them. Hell most of the religious are a lot better people than the looney left wing liberals like those on this website.

Depends on the religious agenda!

I vote for people, never against people.

I believe in a religious test, religious shit heads should not be able to run for office, let alone be voted for.

I am not sure they should be able to vote, make babies, or own guns.

"Open religious agenda" is rather vague. Just as with any candidate it would matter what they stood for, if something in their "open religious agenda" or any of their ideas ran counter to what I felt was good for the nation and myself, then I wouldn't vote for them.

Religion... pure and faultless is this: to help widows and orphans in need and avoid worldly corruption. James 1:27

I don't vote as a way of supporting anything to do with the secret "religion", as you would define religion, that being of the Masonic lodge secret religion racist devil worshippers and their secret religion forced upon people by calling it United States of America (the government and its laws).

Yes. I would. I'd vote as often as I could get away with it.

Voting . . .

No. Separation of church and state is an absolute requirement of a true democracy.
