Does Faith Matter?

UPDATE: Perry discussing Romney’s Mormonism: "And this country is based on, as Newt talked about, these values that are so important as we go forward, and the idea that we should not have our freedom of religion, to be taken away by any means.

The whole First Amendment thing might be a little complicated for a governor whose State Constitution prohibits anyone who doesn’t believe in God from holding public office. This is not a joke.
"

Article. VI., Clause 3 of the Constitution states: "The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."

Nevertheless, should voters consider 'a candidate’s faith.' Read the Washington Post, Why a candidate’s faith matters.

Some think not. Read the Washington Post, Romney and America’s promise of religious freedom.
