I immediately thought no at first, but then thinking again on a deeper note, I don't see many reasons on why they shouldn't. I wouldn't be opposed to people of faith going into politics, a person's belief shouldn't matter when it comes to politics. What I would oppose is if they used that political power as a means to futher their own religious agendas and deliberately push through religious laws onto the population (if they were religious or not). That's the kind of thing I wouldn't like, but as representatives of the state, yeah I can't see why not.
