explain how he was not a Muslim and that Rev Wright was not secretly controlling him.

Oddly, Mitt's Religion is off limits, probably because the evangelicals would prefer to pretend to not know anything about it that might force them to not vote for him based on the possibility of spending eternity in Hell for voting for a member of a cult.

They think the less they know, the less likely God can send them to Hell for voting for him.
