Watch Bill Schneider's report on the two historic speeches on religion.

WASHINGTON (CNN) - Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's speech Thursday on religion was not the first time a White House hopeful has addressed his faith in an effort to win over skeptical voters. In 1960, Sen. John F. Kennedy also gave a speech about religious faith.

In this report, Senior Political Analyst Bill Schneider takes a look at the two speeches and at Romney's and JFK's differing goals in addressing concerns about their religious beliefs.

kathe oakland, calif		December 7th, 2007 4:03 pm ET Who cares what Bill Schneider thinks or Chris Matthews or Pat Bucannan. A bunch of white men trying to disect someone's ideals and faith. Go Get a LIFE all of you

Tim, Minnesota		December 7th, 2007 3:33 pm ET The ground shook, the sky parted and the wind swept in when Mitt spoke. Get real, what a joke! He couldn't hold a candle to JFK. Hahahahahaa More like Ross Perot I'd say.

@wolfblitzercnn: Redskins-Giants always exciting. Both teams have a lot to prove. And Giants can still salvage playoffs. Skins just need a win.
