Election Month at Patheos -- #PatheosElection -- Does a candidates faith matter

Welcome to Week Two of Election Month at Patheos! At Patheos, the world's most compelling writers confront life's most important questions. One important question right now is standing in front of American voters. While we count down to the 2012 election, we've asked our extraordinary stable of writers and experts to offer their perspectives on the relationship between religion, politics and citizenship.

The question for Week Two is this: Does a candidate's faith really matter?

Please join the Facebook following for our new News and Politics Channel — and include the hashtag #PatheosElection as you tweet about this conversation.

Please note that Patheos wants to model a conversation that is elevated, informed and charitable. Please focus your comments on the critical issues before us and be constructive.
