    That is the opposite of what this country was built on; freedom of religion.

    Being religious should not disqualify anyone, but if you push past separation of church and state then and only then should you be disqualified

      Being too religious should absolutely disqualify you, just like believing the world is flat or any number of other complete nonsense should disqualify you.

      So… you’re saying ….

      If they’re too religious… they should be disqualified…

      The line for you being that they try to force their beliefs on others. Which, personally, I view as a given when their campaign platform includes “Christian Values” (or any other religion’s values,)

      If you can’t make a secular argument…. It doesn’t belong in government.

      Bring religious should be a disqualification. You have a higher master you serve. You can’t be trusted to put the country and the citizens first.

      Religious beliefs are not disqualifying, but if that’s your whole way of being, you should not hold public office. Render unto Caesar.
