LK and I are becoming residents of Texas – we are making Texas our home state for RVing. Home state meaning where we are registered to vote, hold licenses and vehicle registrations, and of course pay taxes. Well, I discovered that in Texas (and 6 other states) Atheists can not hold office. WTH?! Don’t even get me started on Arkansas — those hillbillies don’t even think Atheists are “competent to testify as a witness in any Court”.
Texas Bill of Rights Article 1 Section 4
RELIGIOUS TESTS. No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office, or public trust, in this State; nor shall any one be excluded from holding office on account of his religious sentiments, provided he acknowledge the existence of a Supreme Being.
