Does religion matter to you...

That pretty much sums up my feelings on it. I think the only way it would sway my vote would be if someone militantly athiest (athiest is fine, I considered myself one for a long time... I'm talking more like the "God is a curse word and we should ban Bibles from being printed" kind - trust me, I've met some) or satanic or something like that were on the ticket... I would have a hard time voting for them.

As some others have said, I thinking judges would be the one place I might vary... I would prefer to have judges holding seats who have the same beliefs as I do, both on moral and more straightforward matters. But I'm guessing it's pretty unlikely that someone of my religion will make it to the supreme court, unless Utah suddenly gets much more important politically
