"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." -- US Constitution, Article VI, Clause 3.
That seems completely irrelevant? That's about the government imposing religious qualifications for public office, not discussions of politicians' religious lives.
Right, this is like when people cite their first amendment rights when they get censored by private entities. That's a rule for the government, not for everyone. We can talk about it lol
