I ask because that has been a big thing for a long time where public opinion polling has indicated a non-Christian POTUS would not be happening. Do you think that has changed enough for a Hindu to be elected?
Gallup has asked about Jewish, Mormon, Muslim, and Atheist, but not Hindu.
If I had to guess, I'd say that the 40% of Americans who won't for a Muslim or an Atheist is probably indicative of the lukewarm support a Hindu would receive.
