Interesting. Could you clarify, then, why those of other faiths, including Roman Catholics, should be considered unfit for such offices?

Simple, if you do not believe in the True God in heaven above, you will subsititute your rule for his.

Protestant Christians would tend to establish Law according to the precepts of Almighty God. Not Almighty Politician.

As for Catholics, how many Democrat Catholic politicians are for baby killing?

Should I start with a list?

Very simple, the Protestant founders a state wanted to preserve the Protestant character of the state, especially to avoid introducing of hierarchical, centralised tradition. It is fine with me, since I am not a Protestant, I would not try to run for an office (still I would vote) or I would move to another state.
