A few on this thread are in direct opposition to the United States Constitution.
The "no religious test" clause of the United States Constitution is found in Article VI, section 3, and states that:
...no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.

You do know that it's generally interpreted that that clause had a higher object; to cut off forever every pretence of any alliance between church and state in the national government. The framers of the constitution were fully aware of the dangers from this source, marked out in the history of other ages and countries; and not wholly unknown to our own.
It didn't / doesn't mean that we weren't supposed to ask about or question a politicians religion.
