Article VI, Paragraph 3
"The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."
"No religious test shall ever be required" means they are not permitted. This is designed to prevent discrimination against, or exclusion of, people for their religious beliefs (or lack thereof), in holding government office, and is consistent with the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.
there should be no tests administered

∙ 11y agoIn Article 6, paragraph 3 of the Constitution, it clearly states that "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States." This has generally been interpreted to mean that since the founders did not believe in an establishment of religion (that is, the naming of one particular religion as the "official" or favored religion of the United States), they also did not believe that a person's religious beliefs should be a qualification for office, nor should being a member of a minority faith (or no faith at all) disqualify a person from running for political office in the United States.
