UNDERNEWS: THERE IS A RELIGIOUS TEST FOR HIGH OFFICE AND HERE IT IS
Edited on Thu Dec-20-07 01:19 PM by tbyg52
(Sorry about the caps - that was the original headline...)

snip

3. Does the candidate try to appear highly religious to one set of voters and highly broad minded to another?

snip

8. Does faith primarily influence the candidate by providing positive values or by supplying wildly unsupportable information posing as truth?

9. Would the candidate support the end of discrimination against secularists? For example, would the candidate support an atheist opening sessions of the Senate and would the candidate host idea breakfasts as well as prayer breakfasts at the White House?

snip

17. If there is no religious test for high office, why does a new president have to take an oath using a Bible?

(Small quibble - the President doesn't *have* to, but always *does*.)

Edited for usual fumble-fingered typo.
