John McCain on Christian Presidents

"I just have to say in all candor that since this nation was founded primarily on Christian principles ... personally, I prefer someone who I know who has a solid grounding in my faith," McCain said.

I think McCain should have been pressed for a little more specific information.

Many Christians would probably agree with his statement, but they might have a different view if he said he would prefer an Episcopalian (I think that is his denomination)

Non-Episcopalian Christians might then understand how non-Christians feel about his remark.
