Today many voters feel that religion is an important part of how a candidate would run the country.
Uh, legally they can't ask anyone about their religious beliefs in a job interview. The board would be exposing themselves to a discrimination lawsuit (and the negative publicity that comes with it) if, for example, a Christian was chosen over a Jew and one of the interview questions asked the candidate to indentify his or her religion.

But again, religious beliefs have absolutely nothing to do with whether or not someone is a capable leader and makes wise decisions. As such, it should play no role in elections.
