On the other side, some of the attacks suffered by Dilma in 2010 were dirty. It is not fair to discuss if she is religious or not because this issue belongs to her private life. Other attacks were fair. For example, when it was told that she entered the university but did not write the thesis. Concerning this information, the voters have right to know. This issue belongs to her public life.
The religious beliefs of a presidential candidate are not a private matter.
Should be.
Why? Religious beliefs can affect policy making and they are an integral part of who that person is.
I'm sorry, you're right. After all, under JFK presidency, the United States was transformed into a Catholic theocracy, ruled directly from the Vatican.
Getting snarky, are we? I said
can, not will. There is obviously no determinism in this.
My take is that if you run for President in a country where that office has real power you should play with an open hand. Voters are entitled to know about every important part of your personal history, your economy, network and belief system.
