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

I imagine we are losing out on some good leadership because people in general...republicans specifically...do exactly what the Constitution says not to do. Technically, it's the government that is bound by the Constitution, not the people. But they ought to take a hint. Judging people based on their religion alone is very short-sighted.
