I would have to say that Article VI is the law in this case.

[Claud]

Yeah, I know, citing Wikipedia. Nonetheless:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_religious_test_clause

EXCERPT: “Earlier in U.S. history, the doctrine of states’ rights allowed individual states complete discretion regarding the inclusion of a religious test in their state constitutions. Such religious tests have in recent decades been deemed to be unconstitutional by the extension of the First Amendment provisions to the states (via the incorporation of the 14th Amendment).”

So Article IV has not traditionally applied to states. The 14th Amendment is the linchpin here, as some of you stated above.
