Why fuss over religion?

As I read your article in the Religion and Ethics section, "Mormon for president?" I couldn't believe what I was reading. I am tired of so much controversy over Mitt Romney's religion. I don't know how it can be such a big deal.

What happened to freedom of religion? I think that we should all have equal opportunities to run for whatever post we want to, without regard to our religion. The controversy should really be on what kind of a person the candidates are, not their personal beliefs.

I am a Mormon. Mormons do not do strange rituals or grow horns. We are ordinary people with an ordinary Christian belief. If you do not understand Mormonism, maybe you should ask a Mormon, instead of watching a documentary made by someone else who doesn't understand it.
