WASHINGTON (AP) -- Most of America doesn't relate to Mitt Romney's religion, but that may not matter in his race against President Barack Obama.

Those are the findings of a new Pew Research Center poll released a month before Romney is set to become the first Mormon presidential nominee of a major political party.

The survey found widespread misgivings about the Mormon religion.

Nearly two-thirds of non-Mormons see Romney's faith as very different from their own. Just half consider it a Christian faith.

The survey also found that those who know Romney is a devout Mormon say they are comfortable with his religious beliefs.
