open ended question...important to me or important to the public(general society/votes). here's a better question...should the person who guides this country be concerned with religion?
I'd say that as well, but it just doesn't match up with reality. Religion is one of the few things a person can be completely delusional about and yet never negatively effect their overall reasoning skills.
I doubt if any of them really do. They are politicians, and need votes, so they know that a pretend belief is essential for all the red state bible thumping faggots.
