Religion is mentioned only twice in our Constitution.
Article VI.
Clause III.
..."But no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or pubic Trust under the United States."
First Amendment.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of Religion, or the Free Expression thereof....
There is no State Sponsored or State Supported or State Mandated Religion. Nor can a person be denied a job with the Government based on His/Her Religion or the lack thereof. No Elected Public Official at the Federal, State, or Local Level can be required to be of a certain Religion. No person can demand that another person in Government be of a certain religion, nor can a person of a certain religion be denied the right to run for public office based upon their religion or the lack there.
America is not, and has never been "A Christian Nation." such claims are false and misleading. The individual right to worship is a Constitutionally Protected Right. But at no time does our Constitution give any one religion preminent status over another.
