Agreed. And if a candidate keeps their religious beliefs entirely to themselves, as they should, then we will never know whether they believe that homosexuals should be killed or that no one should wear clothes made of two different types of fabric. Fair enough. We will have nothing to complain about until (and if) that candidate is elected and starts supporting hateful and bigoted legislation. However, if a candidate publicly posts their ridiculous, hateful, bigoted beliefs on the internet, it instantly becomes fair game for an electorate trying to choose its leaders (in my view.)
