Then you failed Civics 101. The law in the USA is that there shall be no religious test for holding office. It doesn't forbid anyone from voting their conscience, to select candidates or support legislation, for whatever reason.
Vote your conscience all you like. If your "conscience" just so happens to be casting gods ballot in absentia..don;t be surprised when whatever legislation that amounts to fails to pass or gets struck down.
Sure, the law in the us says that there won;t be any religious test..that;s not all it says......now is it?
You'll have to have something better than "It rustles my god's jimmies!" if you want to write policy.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
