[DiogenesLamp]

Article VI, Section 3, of the Constitution of 1787:

...but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.

But what did that mean in 1787? What was the spirit of the law back then? In what context did they use the word "religious"?

Look, I know what you want it to mean but it says what it says and it meant what it said then and and it means what it says now. Period.
