It's not the place of an elected official to proselytise. This isn't an issue of having an opinion, but one of forcing your opinion on others. His words are very telling of what he'll do in the future,

How is he forcing his views on others? What is he making those who don't believe do that is so wrong? What laws is he trying to change to benifit christians and hurt none christians? Care to share your time machine? I prefer to let  people make their errors before I call them out on it.

Fine. If I'll hear him make biased decisions I'll post a thread titled "I told you so".

Yet, you'd still be wrong.

Why?

You are suggesting someone should be forced from office based on a statement unrelated to his office.  Or you are suggesting that government officals shouldn't be able to express their religious beliefs.

You wish to either violate someones freedom of speech or freedom of religion AND freedom of speech.  

That's exactly what I'm saying. As a representative of the Government you shouldn't express any religious beliefs (or lack of such beliefs). The actions of Governemnt officials are reflected upon the whole Government. Another good reason is that you're bound to piss someone off, especially if you treat people from other religions with disrespect like this guy.
