It doesn't matter whether you are religious or not. All that matters is what your policy is and whether the voters agree with it. If that policy is influenced by religion or not isn't the major issue. People must run for election based on what they believe in and the people must vote with who they agree. For Day (or any politician) to say that he can seperate his beliefs (religious or not) from their policy defeats the point of any election. If the people running all say that they will do what the people want, instead of what they believe, then they have no policy and we have no grounds to vote for them.
What's the difference between candidate A and B if they both run with no policy and say they will do whatever the people want?
