That means the government can't test - voters can and should.

There's at least one "constitutional scholar" on every thread about Mormons who trots that out.

But donna is correct. The "No religious test" does not apply to individuals, just as freedom of speech does not compel media outlets to publish everyone. It's the difference between government restrictions and private discernment.

But donna is correct.

That's why I agreed with her.
