A candidate's faith is really a private matter. A candidate's membership in an organization is a fair question to ask because without clarification, it may indicate personal beliefs or obligations which would compromise the faithful execution of the oath of office. I think it is also fair and proper to ask a candidate to clarify how they view the oath of office and their responsibility to uphold it in light of perceived other obligations. We want a president to act in good conscience so we ought to have some insight into what his conscience is like.
