   >FS>Romney's religion is not an issue.  Religion, as an issue, stopped   
   >FS>when John Kennedy was elected.   
      
   >MM>Romney's religion does affect public policy.   
      
   FS>In what way?   
      
   Mitt Romney claims to be a practicing Mormon.   
      
   FS>Kennedy's religion didn't seem to affect public policy noticeably.   
      
   As president, John F. Kennedy attended Mass almost every Sunday.   
      
   As president, Richard M. Nixon insisted he was a Quaker, thus   
   saving himself from impeachment.   
      
   As president, Jimmy Carter attended church services almost every Sunday.   
      
   As president, George H.W. Bush rarely attended church services on   
   Sunday.   
      
   As president, Bill Clinton almost always attended church services   
   on Sunday, but that did not save himself from impeachment.   
      
   As president, George W. Bush rarely attended church services on   
   Sunday, and became the first (and only) president to visit a Muslim   
   Peace Center.   
      
   As president, Barack Obama attended church services on Easter Sunday.   
      
   As president, Mitt Romney would be the first to attend a temple rather   
   than a church.
