It is true.

This one is scary if true [State law that requires a political offfice holder to be a "born again Christian"].

Can't be true since 1789. The US Constitution, Article VI:

Clause 3: 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.

Several states used to required office holders to pass a Christian religous test.

Now, I believe, that several state constitutions (like PA, TX, MD, NC, etc.) only require the belief in God or a "Supreme Being" (with Supreme Being=God).
