Questions about Religion for Presidential Candidates

Almost two weeks ago legal scholar Marci Hamilton wrote a neat column detailing questions about church and state that she would ask of various presidential candidates. It is well worth a read, check it out. The questions for Hillary Clinton, Mike Huckabee, and Rudy Giuliani in particular are quite provocative.

I'd ask even more pointed questions about the philosophy behind their religious beliefs. Are these beliefs non-realist? expressivist? do they believe in a theology of love or fear? would you hire non-believers? would you make clear public statements about the moral worth and moral equity of non-believers to believers... we could go on.
