We have no religious test in America. We’re really not looking for 2020 candidates to talk about their faith. What we should be looking for is whether candidates push policies informed by religious and moral values like caring for the poor and suffering.https://www.christianpost.com/news/a-new-call-to-justice-progressive-christian-leaders-respond-to-democrat-candidate-faith-talk.html …
I'm sure he's aware of that. I think he's arguing that we shouldn't do that, that the focus on "religion" or "faith" actually obfuscates what should really matter to people of faith, the underlying values of, as he says here, "caring for the poor and suffering."

I absolutely agree. I think what organized religion (if any) a candidate claims to believe in should mean nothing -- and what their actual ethos is should. Of course, most politicians ethos seems to be 'whatever gives me personal power'
