3. not even a chance

Scalia and Thomas are devout Catholic Christians, and I'm not sure about the others. It is irrelevant.

We shouldn't go there, unless the candidate's views indicate that she would not protect Constitutional right and the basic acceptace of separation of church and state.

If we start demanding atheists as justices, we have lost.

On the other hand, if her religion prevents her from recognizing established law concerning equal rights and privacy, that is something else.

Let's be careful.
