I guess the only thing surprising about this survey on voters’ discomfort with the religious affiliation of potential presidential candidates is that Republicans are apparently just a smidgeon more concerned over the prospect of a Muslim becoming President than one of us godless heathens:

Of course, none of this should be remotely surprising to anyone by now, though I do find it disappointing how few of even Democrats are on our side.
Still, time marches on. I await the results of a similar survey done ten years from now. (Or even five.)
