In view of the success of Jews in American politics, a Jewish President is highly likely.
Of course, a Mormon, whom many consider non-Christian because of the Book of Mormon that many Christians consider heretical, got the Republican nomination for President and seemed at times to have a chance to get elected.
Yeah, but Mormons see themselves as Christian. And the Book of Mormon literally has "another Testament of Jesus Christ" on it. So if the religious right think that Mormons aren't Christian, they can stuff it.
As a liberal, I can say with full confidence that the Religious Right can 'stuff it' when it seeks to determine who is a Christian and who isn't based upon political beliefs, let alone establish a political order in which people whose heritage is in any way different lack validity.
Much about contemporary American life and American economic reality is depraved, and I would challenge anyone claiming to be a Christian to test his political and social beliefs against the Sermon on the Mount. That especially includes those who say that we are to give everything to the rich so that we can be saved.
