There is no document that actually says "there is a separation between church and state" in the US constitution or any other legal document. It was only in a letter written by Thomas Jefferson, he viewed that their should be a separation between the church and state. This letter has been brought up in supreme court a few times, but again; it is not in the Constitution.
On that note, anyone who claims they are religious I automatically assume they are less intelligent. I am embarrassed that we still live in a world that clings to barbaric ideas and traditions blindly on ignorance. It would not surprise me if some politicians actually claim a certain faith to gain voters (worked for W. Bush). So to the topic of the OP, it makes a difference that the person running for office actually claims a religious affiliation; regardless of the context of their superstitions.
