Religious Test Clause

Read a random definition: citatory

A quick definition of Religious Test Clause:

The Religious Test Clause is a rule in the U.S. Constitution that says no one can be stopped from serving in a government job or position just because of their religion. This means that people of any religion, or no religion at all, can work for the government if they are qualified for the job.

A more thorough explanation:

The Religious Test Clause is a provision in the United States Constitution that prohibits the use of a religious test as a requirement to hold any public office or trust. This means that no one can be denied a government position based on their religious beliefs or lack thereof.

For example, a person cannot be disqualified from running for president or serving as a judge simply because they are Muslim, Jewish, Christian, or any other religion. The clause ensures that all individuals have an equal opportunity to participate in government regardless of their religious affiliation.

The Religious Test Clause is found in Article VI, Paragraph 3, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution. It reads: "No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."
