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.
