Survey: Theologian-in-Chief?

Some 60 percent of Americans believe a presidential candidate should be a religious person, according to a recent national poll.

The other 40 percent do not.

The survey also reported that 48 percent say their own religious faith always or sometimes guides their political views. An equal percentage say their own faith seldom or never guides their views.
