I'll be honest - I checked off everyone but the mormon.
I read a few books about the history and evolution of the mormon faith last year. There is a substantial doctrine in the church about the political destiny of the mormon faith - specifically that they will save the United States when "the Constitution hangs by a thread" and remake the nation as a righteous and faithful one.
Given the church's fabled ability to enforce compliance with doctrine, history of outright bigotry and violence, and the apparent willingness to manipulate public perception of their doctrines for political expediency I would not feel comfortable voting for a mormon candidate.
I'm not sure if that makes me religionist or what, but these are my honest feelings.
