I don't understand what you want to know about the issue of religion. It speaks for itself with no hidden agenda in the statement. It shouldn't matter in the course of elected office as it (religion) is a constitutional right. And I never said I was voting for him. A question was asked by 'old school' about what we thought. I answered so calm down.
