Thanks to Rob Marus at Associated Baptist Press for highlighting the fact that the President is being challenged by people from across the political spectrum for making Miers faith an issue in her nomination.
Our constitution says there shall be no religious tests to hold public office. That means that the only worldview that is of relevance to holding office in this country is the worldview of the text of the Constitution.
Every office holder, no matter what their religious worldview, is sworn to uphold the principles of the Constitution. None of them are free, when exercising authority of office, to permit personal religious principles to override the legally established and interpreted principles of the Constitution.
