for somebody because of their religion?

Pentecostal? Scientologist? JW? CoC? Muslim? Bahai? Taoist? Buddhist? Sikh? Wiccan? Hindi?

If you would refrain from voting for somebody because of their religion, how does this make you different than Jacob Weisburg?

My own standard is very arbitrary. I can't say that I would never vote for a member of a particular faith, but I also can't say that a candidates religious beliefs would never come into play. For some religions, I would have to be extra impressed by the candidate to overcome my own bias.
