Howard Friedman at Religion Clause has compiled statements from presidential candidates at this weekend's tea-party forum relating to religious freedom issues.

Newt Gingrich wins for the most outrageous assertion about qualifications for president:

I think anyone who would not face the most serious questions by asking God's guidance and God's grace and asking God's help would be a person who totally misunderstood the nature of life and who would be dangerous holding a major office.

 Being religious not a qualification for office, let alone praying a certain way or at a certain time. What is Newt thinking?
