I live in Texas and that law (if indeed there is one) is not enforced. Anyone can hold office here regardless of their beliefs.

Former senator Al Gore is from TN. That shoots down the theory right there.
[edit] Gore doesn't even in live in New Salem. That was is his childhood church.

If those laws are still enforced, I doubt that they are, yes that would be the case. I assume that they have not been removed from the books as enforcing them would/could cause a massive civil suite.

They could just lie about a faith. For most people who hold civil office, lieing comes natural anyway.

Boy, that one would never hold up in Supreme Court. I wonder why no one has challenged it?
