Not all of them, but certainly they could have been recently. I remember with JFK, his religion was a big deal in the election, so I assume it was for a while after that, too.

Yes, JFK was Catholic, so there was the fear of him being subservient to the Catholic church, which is not unrealistic if you consider how the Vatican used religion to rule much of Europe, and England ended up founding its own church in order to break away from Vatican rule.
