I agree with you that there is no religious test for becoming President but there are voters who want no part of someone who would be a follower of what some religions espouse. Like a father killing his daughter to preserve his honor. Or a group in the name of religion beheading a group of volunteer workers because a book was burned half way around the world.
I agree to a degree but your talking about extremist views, I don't want a right wing fundamentalist President who would attack gays and want to repeal civil rights laws either. I have nothing against the idea of a President who embraces Islam, or is Jewish, follower of Buddha etc. It's the quality of the individual that's important.
