Religion is an indication on whether or not a candidate is rational-minded or not.

To be blunt, have you ever looked at Mormonism? Native Americans are actually Jews, the Garden of Eden was in Missouri, interracial couples deserve to be stoned, etc.
While other religions have equally or even more psychotic scripture within, I still wouldn't vote for someone solely on the fact that they have chosen to believe in that religion. Sure, the left does spend a lot of time on religion, but not without cause.

The religions are crazy. The people believing in them are not necessarily crazy.

At the risk of extended tangent, that's a reasonable premise, but not one that leads to atheism.

If you read it as a positive pro-Huntsman article, that only makes the contrast weirder still. *NM*
