Oh, then you must be a big fan of leaders such as the Ayatollah Khomeini and Osama Bin Laden. They had lots of faith in their God which greatly impacted their theories on governance.
Wow. Way to twist somebody's words. Pretty low. 
So what happens if someone who is not religious, but is best qualified for the position applys? Are you going to discriminate against them and think they are inferior and can't make the right decisions based on their difference of opinion?
I really think Bush goes too far with his religion... I don't like hearing him talking about "god" when he's giving speaches... there is a thing called "seperation of church and state" here, which is what this big debate is all about. Creationism = not allowed in schools b/c it's religious belief, and the Vatican even says so too!
And I really like how none of the religious people can counter my saying of "who is wrong?" when it comes to religions that believe in multiple gods, and ones that belive in a single all-powerful being... hmm... wonder why? b/c they can't say they're right or wrong either!
Now I'm going to mention about science... True, a lot of science is just a theory (which means THEY MIGHT BE WRONG TOO, OMG I said it!), there's oppponents to everything. I do like whoever mentioned about the stars/planets thing... SCORE! I'm not saying I think all science is true, but I sure in the hell believe in science more than I believe in god.
Quote from my physics instructor in high school (IMO, one of the smartest guys I've ever met, who is part of Amnesty International... we obviously have a difference of opinion there...):
