Romney’s Faith May Be an Issue in GOP Race
A recent poll, from Pew Research Center for People & the Press, portrays people’s opinion over whether or not Mitt Romney’s faith will affect his GOP Republican race. Some people believe this because Romney is a Mormon, or Latter-day Saint, which many people believe is not a Christian denomination. GOP hopeful Rick Perry, Romney’s chief adversary in this political race, calls Mormonism a “cult.” Someone else, named Robert Jeffress, called Perry a “true conservative” and “a genuine follower of Jesus Christ” while preferring “a born-again follower of Christ,” meaning that he preferred Perry over Romney. Other Republicans believe that Romney’s belief would hinder other Christians’ work in American, resulting with many being at odds with him.
I believe that Romney’s faith could play a part in his presidential campaign and also his presidency, should he be elected. However, any other Christian, or non-Christian religion would play a role in any presidency. One should not judge Romney based on his personal beliefs.
