Mitt Romney on the Importance of Candidates' Religions in Boca Raton Republican Presidential Debate

I don't think for a minute the American people are going to say, you know what, we're not going to vote for this guy for a secular position because of his church. I just don't believe it. I think when the Constitution and the founders said no religious test shall ever be required for qualification for office or public trust in these United States that the founders meant just that. And I don't believe for a minute that Republicans, or Americans for that matter, are going to impose a religious test when the founders said it's as un-American as anything you can think of. […] And so I don't think you're going to see religion figuring into this race after people have had a chance to get to know all the candidates.
