I'm an atheist. I dont think religion is any good.
3. Why do you consider yourself a non believer?
I consider myself an atheist because that's how I believe.
4. Due to your views on religion do you believe religion has a part in politics?
I dont think religion has a place anywhere. If you bring it into politics then the whole world is going to go down the drain.
5. Why do you consider religion evil? Hasn't religion done a lot of good to America?
I dont consider religion evil. I consider the politics behind it evil. Religion hasn't done one thing good except cause violence.

I think Mitt Romney is a cool guy but he needs to tone it down with his openness about religion.

My opinion involves both because a person is full of opinion when he has religious views.

No I wont feel differently about the topic of religion and politics. They always stay the same and never change.

No I'm good.

I consider myself a republican because I have always thought that the republicans of private business ideas was best.
2. What religion do you consider yourself?
I consider myself a Christian.
3. Why do you consider yourself a christian?
I consider myself a christian because I believe in the gospel and the research I put into the religion.
4. Do you believe religion has place in politics?
I believe religion has a place in politics but we need to limit it. It would be like to many politics in religion. It wouldn't work.
5. Do you think religion has had an influence on politics in the past?
Yes I think religion has had an influence on politics in the past because some of the founding fathers fought so hard to develop a country of freedom of religion.
6. Mitt Romney recently has been subject to a lot of ridicule because of his religious beliefs. Do you think that he should be ridiculed like that because of his views? Can you explain?
I dont think anyone should be subjected to ridicule because of their beliefs.
7. What is your opinion on Mitt Romeny as a politician?
I think Mitt Romney is a great politician as far as I can tell. All politicians dont tell the truth so we just have to pick the best ones.
8. Does these opinions reflect him solely as a politician or also his religious views?
I think these opinions are both because a mans character is based on his beliefs and actions.
9. Do you think all politicians are biased in some sort of religious belief and if so, do you think they should keep it secret?
I think they are all biased and they shouldn't keep it secret but they also shouldn't wave it around like a flag
10. Thank you for your time. Do you have any additional comments?
No.
Reflection:
The interviews went fairly well. I had a really hard time holding my tongue with Nick but had to get through the interview without any argument. We are good friends but we have our differences and they definitely show. But trying to be a good interviewer I kept my composure and went along. In Cameron's interview everything went very well. I think both interviews could have been better if we were allowed more time to prepare but I wanted to get it done quickly.
