I didn't mean to apply it to our current president, I wrote of the  
general case.

I want my President to have a faith they feel strongly about. I  
personally would accept nearly any mainstream religion, as long as she/ 
he is serious.

I will not accept a President that feigns a belief in any faith to  
make themself an attractive candidate.

Many Christians feel they have a relationship with their God, does  
that exclude all of those Christians from becoming President? Many  
religious people of various denomination feel that their Gods speak to  
them - I'm ok with that, unless they tell me he called.

Many religious people feel their lives have a purpose, and that their  
purpose comes from their God, should that prevent them from holding  
the office of President? Or is it all ok, she/he just can't say it out  
loud (dont't ask, don't tell?)
