The Constitution prohibit religious tests for holding public office. Mitt can belong to any freakish religion he chooses. Who's denying miltie his right to run?
I can apply any test I choose in picking a candidate. Are you gonna rat me out to the po po?

The Constitution statement on religious tests applies ONLY to government ~ both state and federal.
It has no bearing on individual choice.
What's most interesting about that clause is it was devised to STOP the Quakers in Pennsylvania from imposing a test on people running for Congress. The laws there required you to be a Quaker to run for office.
