Tell me if it turned out that John McCain or Hillary Clinton use to be a member of the "National Socialist Movement" would you not closely examine them further based on this alone?
Those are more political in nature rather than religious. Being a member of those groups means excepting their view and purpose while a religious group may have a different core that it is based on beyond cherry picked views of the preacher which may not be related to the faith itself. I do think the things this guy said are awful and will make it a consideration in figuring out who I will vote for but it isn't a damning issue in and of itself.
