In reality, they'd probably discriminate against a lot of these things (and more). Especially since discrimination is largely an unconscious process.

If you guys will allow me to insert myself into your conversation here, I think that you've got a good point to a certain extent. However, I think that it's simply one more hurdle for candidates to overcome in voters' minds along with the issues. For instance, I'd vote for a pro-choice, pro-gun control guy/gal that was a fiscal moderate to conservative that at least acknowledged that global warming is a potential cause for concern who happened to be a Mormon. Obviously Mormons of that ilk are few and far between, so the likelyhood of me ever getting a chance to cast that vote is slim at best.
