Religion in American Elections

Post by _moksha »

Much has been said about Mitt Romney's Mormonism in this pre-Presidential Election jockeying and there will even be more as the race continues.

Sort of like in 1960, when a Catholic and a Disciple of Christ faced off against a Quaker and a Unitarian. The scrutiny was on the Catholic candidate.

Most likely the peculiarities we Mormons have prided ourselves on will be pointed out as being different enough to make us seem... well you know... peculiar enough so that Republican candidates from a Dominionist or very liberal National Baptist background will seem like shining normality in comparison.

No matter others are saying, it is important for us to remember that Mitt has the backing of Kolob and that says it all.

That is utter nonsense Moksha. Every knows that not only are Mormons not peculiar, but that they are the very epitome of normalcy. That invective by the Reverend Jeffress was presented solely as an attempt to solicit all the haters in the audience into looking favorably upon Rick Perry.

to the OP...
As far as I know, in US religion and state are separated.
Help me if I am wrong.
