Yes and no.
Yes if they have a westernized open society and social stability mindset. But even with liberal theists, as much as I love their empathy, I still say that religion poisons politics and politicians use it to divide society, much moreso with the right wing.
The word "religion" itself is problematic as a human invented construct. As much good humans worldwide claim their religion does, the downside even liberal theists don't want to face, is that the violent and bigoted believers still are reading the exact same books with the exact same words to justify their cruelty.
Yes I will vote for a believer as long as they aren't using their religion to produce common law.
