Here's evidence for Giuliani on this issue...

GIULIANI: Yes, I think it's going to be real important for about three or four weeks, and then people are going to settle in, and they're going to become comfortable with it, and that is exactly where this has become historic, because this election is going to move on to other things, and we're going to do what we're supposed to do with Americans, we're going to disregard somebody's religion, ethnicity or racial background, and then we're going to say, you know, who do we like better in terms of policy? You know, is it going to be Gore and Lieberman, or is it going to be Bush and Cheney? What do we prefer in terms of, you know, the direction of the United States.

I think this is fine, if not tremendously exciting.

I have no problem with that revision.  It doesn't take away what the issue is getting at. 

Should religion affect the way people vote?

It should be left open to mean either the candidates religious beliefs or the voters personal beliefs.

-Should religion play a factor in the voting process?

Should a candidate's religious beliefs factor into a voter's decision process?

Should religion play a factor in the way people vote?

Voters' own religious beliefs? A little confusing.
