they would have to leave out "on account of his religious sentiments' for that to be true.
Don't forget the states preceded the "United States" and were formed by religious people who wrote the rules for themselves and their peers. you can't change history.

Two versions:
"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 under this Commonwealth."
"No person shall,
on account of his religious sentiments, be disqualified to hold any office or place of trust under this Commonwealth."
As long as you
acknowledge the being of a God and a future state of rewards and punishments, you can't be disqualified on religious grounds. If you don't, you can.
And yes, I know this is moot, thanks to the Supreme Court, as I said earlier.
