At an undecided voter forum in South Carolina Saturday, Mitt Romney made a promise to an evangelical voter concerned about what she said is a creeping anti-Christian bigotry: “I will stand up for the ability of Americans to worship as they choose,” he said.

“I will not proceed down the path that i think you’re seeing across this country, which is to try and secularize America,” Romney said.

Talk of anti-Christian bigotry has been a big part of the race in South Carolina, with Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum in particular mentioning the issue at every campaign stop.
