"I don't pretend to understand the wisdom and power of God. I do believe in prayer. I am very dependent on my faith, and prayer is a big part of that." Mike Huckabee? No, Hillary Clinton.

"I believe in the power of prayer. Part of what I pray for is the strength and wisdom to act on the things I can control." Mitt Romney? No, Barak Obama.

"My sense of social justice comes from being a Roman Catholic. Prayer is personal. It is important that we have faith, that we have values, but if I'm president I am not going to wear my religion on my sleeve." Rudy Giuliani? No, Bill Richardson.

And from John Edwards: "I pray daily. I prayed [when] my 16 year old son died, prayed before Elizabeth was diagnosed with cancer. There are some things beyond our control ... I don't think you can prevent bad things happening through prayer."
