Dear logansrun: You have falsely claimed that, at the founding of our republic, eleven of the original thirteen states had religious tests for public office. As a practical matter, no state had a religious test in the sense that anyone was actually excluded. Nine of the states had abolished their religious test by the time the Bill of Rights was a year old. . In N. H., Conn., and Mass., the religious test favored Christians. However, there were no Jews or other non-Christian religions in those three States at the time of the founding, so no one was actually excluded. The religious test in North Carolina that excluded infidels was not enforced. Infidles are known to have held state office.
