Go back to his speech at that (5.00 / 4) (#31)

evangelical convention - his membership at Wright's church - his personal conviction about his own religion - I think this is real and I think he has been pretty clear on his position in favor of integrating religion into our government for a long time now.  For some reason, a lot of people chose to ignore his position or rationalize it arguing that it was good for voting numbers.

But I think it is really odd that he'd allow hiring and firing on the basis of faith in light of the most recent Pew study on religion in America which shows that an overwhelming majority of Americans are actually quite tolerant of other religions.  It could be said that he is out of the mainstream in the context of Pew's findings.
