Being a Christian is not and never has been a requirement for political office in this country.

You may be surprised to find this in the Delaware Constitution of 1776:

Art. 22. Every person who shall be chosen a member of either house, or appointed to any office or place of trust . . . shall . . . make and subscribe the following declaration, to wit: "I ________, do profess faith in God the Father, and in Jesus Christ His only Son, and in the Holy Ghost, one God, Blessed for evermore; and I do acknowledge the holy scripture of the Old and New Testaments to be given by divine inspiration."

Here is thing.. That was 1776, this is 2007... Things are kinda different now...

Oh, my mistake. I thought that the discussion had to do with the U.S. Constitution and not a pre-revolutionary constitution. Maryland originally wrote into law that the official religion was Catholicism, do you think that document should influence our Constitution and political process today?

The Constitution supersedes those documents that came before and takes precedence over state constitutions.

A lot of "religious" people in this country had better understand that putting protection of the written constitution ahead of all else including personal religious priorities is essential.

If you don't protect and defend the Constitution that protects and defends your religious rights then our enemies including the democrat party will do everything they can to abrogate your religious rights.
