He starts off acknowledging that the depth of one's faith is personal and beyond the judgment of others, but then suggests a candidate's profession of faith (and its orthodoxy) is subject to scrutiny if used "as an election tactic." If politics is to be about issues and not cults of personality, there really is no room this--regardless of which part of the political spectrum it may come from.
