That's not my argument at all. But it will be the argument of everyone else who isn't evolved and can't think in a straight line. They too require governance, that they believe fairly represents them. One fair test of that is whether the person is electable, although I would prefer if a super-majority believes the POTUS can be representational.

To be Muslim and to be electable here would require you to swear off just about everything considered Islamic. Not even the women's headgear would work. But is that person Muslim?

I'm rather atheist and I would never be elected... unless I noted from time to time that there is a God...

Yes, a Muslim is permitted to be President. Nothing I've said refutes that one iota.
