Last paragraph of Article VI:
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.
[Emphasis added.] That was written over 200 years ago, but listening to what's coming out of the Republican candidates' mouths these days, you might think you're in a different country.
