Indeed! The drive by media wants it to be an issue, they say it's an issue, and therefore it is an issue. No matter how untrue it is.
Personally, I do not support Romney in the primaries, but it has nothing to do with his faith.
I'm with you. I'm not interested in Romney, but its more because he strikes me as too weak in the knees. But if he's the nominee, I'll back him without reservation.
Measure the gulf between my views and his, compare it to the gulf between me and the gaggle in the opposing party and its an easy choice.
