New York Times Publicizes that Seven State Constitutions Say Atheists Can’t Hold Public Office — 5 Comments

  1. I wonder how the current USSC would rule if a case centered on this issue got to them? Maybe license plates will give us a hint.

  2. Yes, the court recently accepted a case over whether Texas could refuse to issue special license plates for some association of Confederate Veterans history group, because the license plate would show the Battle Flag of the Confederacy.

  3. Any constitutions having bans on witches ???

    Sue for $$$ DAMAGES to bankrupt the moron States and officers involved.

  4. George Bush, presidential candidate, on 8/27/87:

    “No, I don’t know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God.”
