No, I don't have an issue with a political candidate who's religious. It's just when they start framing their public policy in regards to their religion that's when I tune them out. The bible is not relevant to the workings of today society. Trying to apply lessons from it is usually fruitless, on top of the notion that you can find support for any position you want to defend in the bible.
As for Chinese proverbsÂ…probably not since there's not really a religion usually connected with them. I probably would have thought it was out of place though.
