For those of you that have been following, yet another, God-awful US election, you're well aware of the recent specualtions about Barack Obama being a Muslim. Does it really matter? What difference would it make if the man was a Scientologist?

What shouldn't matter is the fact that their religion is different from yours. It does matter if they adopt beliefs and ideals that are so vastly different from yours and related to governmental issues. Obviously religion will affect your views on what is too liberal or what should be dismissed as old-fashioned or how much regulation should be put on corporations -- people associate themselves with certain religions because, like the other people in that group, they hold those values to be most important.
