I genuinely respect your respect for elders: however you can probably use just regular respect on the forum :-) There's nothing cliché in what Theymos said:
it is how it is right now

Right or Wrong? depends on the situations.
it seems impossible that a non Christian is elected.

But no; at this moment a candidate would probably at least have to claim they are a Christian.
Maybe Trump's presidency will change that?
