Essentially, they will accuse the President of using a religious test, which is strictly against the constitution. Whether or not this holds water, the words are coming from W's own mouth, so they will be free to raise a firestorm.

Would you expect Bush to nominate an atheist?

and that is a trap for the Crat's. If they try and use the
"no religious test" clause they will appear to be anti faith
but if they don't mention it, the left wing will hammer them
with "why are you letting a religious fantatic on the Court"

and i think the clause more has to do with barring from any
office due to religious conscience or oaths. and I can agree
with that.

The clause does NOT mean you can't use religion at all in your consideration.

But, you can't bar somebody from serving because of religious issues.
