yeah and Catholics pray to a Saint for animals ... and burnt people at the stake.
What’s the point of trashing a religion that has produced such goodness in America.
We are not electing a pastor. We are electing a president.

Please show me where this is both...

...and in Catholic teachings as being the prescribed behavior?
Mormon endowments for marrying the dead is prescribed by the Mormon church -- and is present tense-teaching.

In the sermon on the mount, Jesus complimented the legalistic Pharisees by saying that unless a person's righteousness exceeded the Pharisees and teachers of the law, they would "in no wise inherit the kingdom of God."
Yet Jesus was talking about only the outward righteousness of these religious legalists. And you'd be hard-pressed to find another Jesus compliment of them anywhere in the Gospels.
Elsewhere, Jesus referenced them as "children of the devil" (John 8), whitewashed tombs, vipers, proselyters making others "twice the son of hell," etc.
If the Pharisees did so much outward righteousness, why would Jesus "trash" them as He did?
Jesus accused them of taking away the "the key to knowledge" (Luke 11:52) & blocking the door to heaven.

Even non-religious people tend to at times honor the Bible. The Biblical record shows that true successful leadership in public office is done by those who fear the TRUE Lord -- not by some low-level Mormon god who is part of a great number of Mormon gods...
And these Biblical leaders did not -- or were not to -- worship false gods/idols. The OT is replete w/ such examples. The Israelites had secular kings, not "pastors in chief." But that didn't mean that these kings' ministrations were any less a "ministry." Romans 13 makes it clear that public office is also a "ministry." Those who contend against this are openly militating against this Scripture.
It doesn't mean that public officeholders administrate in a parochial way; it just means that public office is a "ministry of service" like the soup kitchen down the street.
History (biblical & otherwise) shows that the more pagan or counterfeit god that a leader adheres to, the more trouble that leader's "exhaust" settles on the people-at-large. Kings & presidents need all the grace, mercy, & guidance possible, since God gets more credit for preserving & directing leaders than we care to give Him credit for. Therefore, one who worships a false god & has no true relationship w/the living God is stifling access to God's resources; & a nation may suffer for that.
We must weigh a candidate's level of vulnerability to deception - for that transcends 'religious' considerations: If a candidate is gullible in the most important area of his life -- his faith – this serves as an excellent indicator of potential other gullibilities
What exactly is the "goodness" that the mormon church has produced in America?
Examples, please.
