Ignoring, for a moment, the whole 14th Amendment issue, do you think it would be proper for states to prohibit all but Protestant Christians from holding office, and if so why?

Yes.

John Jay said the reason best:

"Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privlege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers."

--JOHN JAY (1745-1829)

IMHO, yes, it would be proper. Why?--have you heard of Ted Kennedy?
