I can only speak for the intent of the foundes of the United States. They never precluced religious people from running from office. But when you look at the way they wrote the first Amendment and the oath of office "no relgigious test".there is no way they intended on a religious peclking order.
Add to that the Barbary Treaty AFTER THE FACT, of the signing of the Constitution, singed without dissent by both houses of congress and by President John Adams "As the government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion"..
Christians even on the left mistake the majoraty in or history as bieng an intitlement to absolute power. The founders were NOT against freedom of religion. They were against monopolies of power that would create pecking orders.
