The far right wing is forever talking about the Constitution, but you people never seem to read it. Here's what Article VI has to say about this issue:

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.

Not that any of this matters to you people. I have yet to ever see the right wing be bound to any principle or law that interferes with any of its goals.
