Found 8, which includes NC that I already posted.

Arkansas: “No person who denies the being of a God shall hold any office in the civil departments of this State, nor be competent to testify as a witness in any Court.” (Article IXX, Section 1)

Maryland: “[N]o religious test ought ever to be required as a qualification for any office of profit or trust in this State, other than a declaration of belief in the existence of God….” (Article XXXVII)

Mississippi: “No person who denies the existence of a Supreme Being shall hold any office in this state.” (Article XIV, Section 265) Ironically, Article III, Section 18 of the state’s constitution declares, “No religious test as a qualification for office shall be required.”

Pennsylvania: “No person who acknowledges the being of a God and a future state of rewards and punishments shall, on account of his religious sentiments, be disqualified to hold any office or place of trust or profit under this Commonwealth.” (Article I, Section 4)

South Carolina: “No person who denies the existence of a Supreme Being shall hold any office under this Constitution. (Article XVII, Section 4)

Tennessee: “No person who denies the being of God, or a future state of rewards and punishments, shall hold any office in the civil department of this state.” (Article IX, Section 2)

Texas: “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.” (Article I, Section 4)
Wow! I didn't know about any of these.

Re: State Religion in NC Proposed

Well thank the Lord no states or the federal government have to submit to God!

Luckily for us, we live in a nation where God's Word is NOT the 'supreme law of the land'!!!

Re: State Religion in NC Proposed

XIV would not prohibit what the state of North Carolina is attempting to do. Further, I think it is about time that someone stood up to the immorality of secularism and did something like this. Sadly, it would only pass in a few states, but I would take very little issue with this.

Re: State Religion in NC Proposed

I can see it now. NC makes Christianity the official religion, "puts God back in schools", and voila! No more teen pregnancies. No school shootings. No more libruls in office.

Paradise!

Hmm... back when prayer was in school, along with the 10 commandments... did we have the same number of teen pregnancies and school shootings we have now?

BTW, today's liberals grew up in yesterday's schools - you know, the ones that dropped prayer and the 10 commandments...

So it's that simple? Cool.

We're all watching NC. (Not that this thing will pass. But if it does, )

I initially had a typo citing "IV" and not "VI".

I am seeing further clarification on this Article with Eric Holder's letter to Gov. Brownback regarding the Obama administration ignoring a new Kansas law nullifying federal gun control laws.

Holder writes - “Under the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution, Kansas may not prevent federal employees and officials from carrying out their official responsibilities.”

The clincher is that the “Supremacy Clause” of Article VI does not endow all federal laws with supremacy over state laws in the same arena. The clause grants that special denomination to the Constitution "and laws of the United States made in pursuance thereof.”

Quote:
That’s the phrase that pays: “In pursuance thereof.” Federal laws made in pursuance of the Constitution — not in violation of the Constitution — are afforded supremacy.

In fact, if an act of Congress exceeds the scope of the enumerated powers given to the federal government in the Constitution, that act was not made in pursuance of the Constitution and therefore it is not only not the supreme law of the land, but it is not law at all, but “merely [an act] of usurpation.”
