There are some senses in which it isn't OK to discriminate based on religious beliefs. Religious beliefs can't be outlawed, and one can't discriminate when it comes to housing or employment. But voting is a different story altogether.

I will not vote for a Dominionist, any more than I would vote for a radical Islamist, a follower of the Aryan Nations, or a follower of Nichiren Shoshu. And I make no apologies for that.
