Constitution - Article Vi - Legal Status
Article 6 outlines the legal status of the United States Constitution. It gives the Constitution power to be law in case of all international and national treatise and such.
It also prevents religion as a requirement for office and places all offices of the government under the constitution. All laws, debts, and courts are bound to the Constitution via Article VI.
| QUOTE |
| All debts contracted and engagements entered into, before the adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation. This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding. 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. |

Status Legal Vi Article Constitution
This shows the fear of having religion in politics by our forefathers. The very end is the statement I'm referring to, in which they specify no religious requirement to be in any office or public trust. It shows the need to keep religion out of the government or keep the government from using religion in making its laws. No, it doesn't say that, it just shows what I believe is a common theme that is usually over looked or ignored.
