LL> Hello Matt,   
      
   >>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.   
      
    LL> A president's religion does (and should) affect public   
    LL> policy. I see a problem, a very big problem, if a president   
    LL> were to run the office of the presidency as would an   
    LL> atheist.  Americans are a religious (and spiritual) people.   
    LL>  Our constitution was written by religious (and spiritual)   
    LL>  people.  As such, our president should reflect the values   
    LL>  of the American people.   
      
    The values of the American people are best expressed by the   
    main body of the constitution's banning of religious tests for   
    office, and the first amendment's requirement that the govt not   
    promote religion.
