Yes we do have religious tests in this country. Secular law is just one component of our system. Although the left sure is trying hard to ethnicly cleanse us of religion. By the way that test is the person who pulls the handle on the voting machine.

The Founders demonstrably disagreed. You might benefit from reading the Constitution - they made such tests illegal.

Secular law is just one component of our system.

No, it is the entirety of our system of government.

Can you point to the section in the Constitution in which the Founders gave religious tenets supremecy over secular laws?

By the way that test is the person who pulls the handle on the voting machine.

True enough. People may chose to vote based upon whatever criteria they choose.

But if they refuse to vote for a candidate who is Jewish, or Sikh, or whatever, no matter how conservative that candidate is or what his stance on the issue is, solely because of the candidate's religion, that is the very definition of bigotry. And it's sad.
