5. I think they should absolutely be public

Every other facet of a candidate's life goes under the microscope, and all facets are part of what makes this person who they are. Why should their religious beliefs be exempt? Their beliefs can dramatically affect how they think and act. Shouldn't we, as the citizens who are expected to vote on who to put in office, have as much information as possible to make an informed decision?

I would naturally be more inclined to vote for an atheist/agnostic/freethinker. That's not the determining factor, of course, but I'd rank it pretty damn highly.
