Unless he’s going to create public policy based on his religious beliefs I’m not sure it is a big deal. Are we going to not elect Jews if they keep the Sabbath out of fear they’ll shut down commerce and sporting events on Saturdays?

I also really believe lots of people don’t understand the core “creationist” beliefs i.e., the earth is 6,000 years old but may hold a kind of soft creationist view like the Catholic church does, that is that God created the earth, but that evolution is still true. I certainly didn’t realize the whole of the radical creationist beliefs until I read this site and thought it could include a hybrid of God is a creator and evolution is still valid. Most polls indicate most Americans believe in creationism, but I would bet most of those claiming to believe in creationism just believe God created the universe and don’t throw Darwin out wholesale.
