Are Mormons Christian?

167. You read my mind, er, Constitution

There's no need to invent a religious test where our law and our custom forbid it.

At the risk of sounding like the Salamander, historically there have been many attacks on a US candidate's religion, and historically the electorate has ignored them. I seem to recall a lot of yipyap over our current president's church in the last election.

Jefferson was accused of atheism:

Andrew Jackson was accused of everything. Absolutely everything. He was guilty of a lot of it.

Grover Cleveland was accused of not living by religion, and certainly wasn't following the social norms of the time:

Kennedy was widely suspected of Catholicism, on remarkably strong grounds, but won anyway.

When times are bad or issues are pressing, the electorate worries about a candidate's proposed policies, and this has been consistently true.
