Plenty of voters will take into account the religion of the candidate, and plenty of candidates will make an issue of their religion.
Which brings us to one of the points I've been trying to make: Therefore it is both fair and responsible to ask these candidates about their precise religious views. I don't mean vague bland nods to "Christian faith" or simply "faith" but actual details on doctrine and practice.
If people want to make religion a central part of political campaigns, I say great! Bring it on! It'll be nice to actually find out just what the hell they're talking about finally.
