"Religion, Politics, the Presidency: Commentary by an Evangelical Christian and A Mormon"

United States Constitution — Article VI:

"No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."

For those interested in political philosophy, I give you . . . Rep. Jeff Flake

Here’s some food for weekend thought:  A brief video of Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Arizona, speaking to the libertarian Reason Foundation last November, shortly after the election.  (HT:  Reason.com.)

It’s kind of interesting to note that Rep. Flake is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  I don’t think that ever comes up in his re-election campaigns.  But listen to what he has to say.  Does his religion have any bearing on whether or not you want someone in Congress espousing the views Rep. Flake expresses here?
