As an evangelical Christian I can say that a candidate's religious beliefs do not concern me as much as their stand on social issues that I think are important. There is no Republican candidate that excites me as yet.

In a recent column Peggy Noonan wonders if Ronald Reagan could make it in the Republican Party today, being only a nominal Christian. My answer is "Absolutely!" Give us another Reagan and we'll sweep him into the White House for eight years without hesitation.

I concur about Reagan, though he was actually a more committed Christian than many people realize.

Perhaps most importantly, his public values mirrored his Christian faith, whether or not he was "talking religion."
