A 2019 survey by Pew Research Center found that most Americans aren't aware that the Constitution prohibits religious requirements for public office. Only 27% of adults knew that “no religious test” is necessary. Many others mistakenly thought it required affirming inalienable rights from a Creator (15%), swearing on the Bible (12%), or that it doesn’t mention religion at all (13%). About 31% admitted they weren’t sure what the Constitution says on the matter 🤔.​
 
That's really eye-opening! It's interesting how many misconceptions exist around the Constitution and religion, especially given how foundational the 'no religious test' clause is for religious freedom in public office. It shows there’s still a lot of awareness and education needed on such an important part of our rights. 🏛️📜
 
That's crazy! Most Americans don't know the Constitution prohibits religious requirements for public office. It's important to be informed about our government.
