Does that mean you don’t agree witrh these little religious tests we see almost every day or do you only vote for certain religions?

Religious tests apply for the government, not voters. In fact, the founders were very supportive of using ethics and religion in considering a candidate.

What religious test? There is no religious test to run for office in this country. If a candidate's theology helps him be a better president, then good for him. If it has no effect, then I don't consider it. If it's a detriment, then I vote for someone else.
But what I personally do there isn't relevant. It is not bigoted or racist if someone decides to not vote for (insert religion here) because they don't like that theology. As I said earlier, this is America. You can vote for who you want, for any reason.
