As an atheist the "no religious test" clause is my favorite. I like to point out that this is the only mention of religion and that god is not present at all. Of course, this was due primarily to Europe's history of religious persecution. But this clause would not have been included if the congress had been made up of religious zealots. And many of the founders were decidedly non-religious.

We want to hear about your favorite passage of the constitution, and may invite you to follow up on-air or online. Need a refresher? Here it is.
