A President's "faith" has absolutely no bearing on what laws get passed during his/her administration. Once in office, every elected official worships the Almighty Dollar and nothing else. So you see, it's not Allah we have to fear. It's "Dollah."
Here's a question more appropriate to modern America: Would more Americans be up in arms over the President openly being Muslim or Christian?
Flea - personally, I would change your first line to read "should not have any bearing", but other than that, I agree with you. Trump has his current legs because he is only candidate that cannot be readily bought. The Right see this and likes it...a lot. You would think the Left would be all over that considering their hatred for Citizens United. News Break: the Right hates it too!
Right now in today's media driven PC political environment, I'd say Christian. Even thought most in this country ID as Christian. The overt PC pendulum has swung and that's why the Right at the moment has the "silent majority". The Dems are going to lose this cycle in the same way the Repubs lost it after Bush. The "last guy sucked and did nothing for the country or for me". Moderates and Blacks are going Repub this go around. Clinton is toast. O'Malley is a non factor. The Berns is too extreme and only speaks to hard core leftists. Biden is the wild card, but I think Moderates and Blacks have been burned too many times in the last 7 years to endorse an Obama policy 3rd term. This is why the Dems are pushing for Amnesty. They know they've lost Moderate and Black vote which put O in office twice.
I'm still waiting for a Dem debate to hear their positions. The Dems threw the baby out with the bath water by pushing aside everyone except Hillary. That decision will haunt them next cycle. Being an Indy Moderate, I voted Obama his first term and elected not to vote the last cycle. I could not abide by either Obama or Mitt and I refused to cast a vote for the lesser of two evils. That being said, I'll probably go Rebub this go around due to the reasons listed above. Maybe. Or I may not vote again this cycle. It depends on the Repub. I had really high hopes for Carson, but the guy for as smart as he is supposed to be, just doesn't get it.
FML. Shoot me now....
