In this chapter, the author examines the various ways political figures have dealt with the question of their religion on the campaign trail. He focuses on candidate Mitt Romney and his handling of explaining his religion during the campaign trail and concludes, "Had Mitt Romney been willing to talk about his faith on the campaign trail, he would at the very least have made it easier for the next Mormon who pursues national office."
