Read Article 6:

All Debts contracted and Engagements entered into, before the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation.

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.


That means a Mormon, Muslim, Hindu, or members of any other religion can hold public office.

“That means a Mormon, Muslim, Hindu, or members of any other religion can hold public office.”

But I, as an individual, have the right to vote for or against a candidate based on religion.

LOL.

The Constitution guarantees my freedom to vote as I choose and to evaluate candidates as I choose, and to discuss it in public as I choose.

What kind of commie nut case are you? You can’t impose a religious test onto voters.

If you’re familiar with the Bible, it will be obvious that there are many misinterpretations and outright distortions of the Bible.

Hebrews 9:27
