“No religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”

And yet your hostility to Jindal's Christianity is sort of a religious test in and of itself since it appears to disqualify his for the office of VP as far as you are concerned.

>>>>And yet your hostility to Jindal’s Christianity

My hostility has nothing to do with Jindal or with Christianity (probably since I am a Christian).

Is is 100 percent directed at those who make religious backgrounds, beliefs, or heritage either an overt or tacit political benchmark (or “test” as Article VI says).

I love it when the biggest religious bigots here on FR - and there are many of them - come back and say “Article VI only applies to the government, not to ME!” somehow conveniently forgetting that ****they are the government****.

Every line of the Constitution should be in every American’s heart.
