I believe Religion should be a private relation between one and his/her god. Going further Religion must be kept out of Government!

Disappointed in your choice of issues. The religious tradition of most of these candidates says a great deal more about poverty than any of the issues you have listed.

This is the most comprehensive list dealing with the issue of religion. I find it useful and insightful and I'm spreading the word.

"I have recently been examining all the known superstitions of the world, and do not find in our particular superstition (Christianity) one redeeming feature. They are all alike, founded upon fables and mythologies"
- Thomas Jefferson -
"Erecting the 'wall of separation between church and state,' therefore, is absolutely essential in a free society."
Too bad we don't have presidential candidates who feel that way about religion anymore.

Perhaps a review of the candidates willingness to impose their individual religious preferences on others by force or coersion?
