United States Constitution, 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.

∙ 13y agoNo religious test will be required. This is because of the fact that in Great Britain during the 1700s, candidates in office were required to be protestant (and I believe Anglican too) and were disqualified for being Roman Catholic (and in many cases even marrying a Roman Catholic was enough to make you disqualified).
