Romney: Religious test "dangerous"

Mitt Romney says it's "dangerous" to select a presidential candidate on the basis of faith:

"The concept that we select people based on the church or the synagogue they go to, I think, is a very dangerous - and an enormous departure from the principles of our Constitution."

Unless it's the Religion of Secularism. Then it's okay.

But in recent years, the notion of the separation of church and state has been taken by some well beyond its original meaning. They seek to remove from the public domain any acknowledgment of God. Religion is seen as merely a private affair with no place in public life. It is as if they are intent on establishing a new religion in America – the religion of secularism. They are wrong.
...
And you can be certain of this: Any believer in religious freedom, any person who has knelt in prayer to the Almighty, has a friend and ally in me.

Anybody else, not so much.

But, to be fair, Romney said that last part in 2007, so he may have changed his mind by now.
