There is no religious requirement to be President of the United States of America. Despite that fact religion has been introduced into the Republican Party nomination campaign. There have been numerous articles and discussions about Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee.
Mitt Romney has tried to avoid the religious discussions by discussing “values” rather than specific beliefs. Mike Huckabee, however, recently had a campaign ad that promotes him as a “Christian leader.”
During today’s TV interview show “This Week” on ABC, Mike Huckabee, a Southern Baptist, sidestepped questions about whether he considers Romney, who is a Mormon, to be a Christian. The Southern Baptist Convention, the nation’s largest Protestant group, considers Mormonism a cult. Huckabee also said he does not believe it is important for the president to be a Christian. Then why is he promoting his religious views?
I find this situation a horrifying turn of events. Is this nation any different from Iraq, Iran and other Arab nations that have all their laws based upon the Koran? I thought the U.S.A. had risen above this kind of feudal and tribal vision. Am I wrong?
