Do you care if Tom Cruise is a Scientologist? Or that Mitt Romney is a Mormon? Or that a person is either a very devout Muslim or a card carrying Communist?

I don't care as long as they aren't trying to convert me to their religion or if they judge my by their standards.

When conservative religious fundamentalists take over, we see how laws can be affected.

i don't care if it's in the case of someone like tom cruise. but, with mitt romney running for president, he can affect your life. i don't think he would, but, he is in a position to instill a bit of mormon values on us. i actually supported him, still do a little, i may vote for him, not sure yet.
anyway, my point is, if someone's religion can affect my life, then, yes, i care. if not, do as you please.

I think religious view CAN play a very important part in policy----esp. if one's constituents are leaning toward a certain belief.

It does, and doesn't.
I could never date or marry someone whose mentality and spirituality is rooted in lies and deceit.
I could, however, get along fine with anyone based on where our beliefs intersect. -

Yeah, that. Same way I feel.

Interesting you recognize communism is a religion minimus.
I see no reason why it should really matter to me as long as they try to harm me or others. Beyond that, they are welcome to their belief or lack thereof.
