Mitt Romney (again)

Mitt Romney has decided to give a speech about his unknown religion because recent polls suggest that 36 percent of white evangelists are less likely to vote for a Mormon. While people believe that it's unnecessary for him to speak about his religious beliefs, I think that it's imperative to get the word out and clarify how his beliefs will affect his campaign and his platform. According to statistics, the Church of the Latter Day Saints is only about 2% of the entire nation. Which means a majority of the US population only know that Mormons are polygamists, and settled in Utah. In my opinion, it would be beneficial for Romney to speak out his religion because it is a faith that supports the separation of church and state, and freedom of religion.
