Issues
Ban on atheists holding office
Maryland and six other states have provisions in their state constitutions that ban those who don't believe in God from holding public office. A campaign by the Openly Secular coalition has pressed for those seven states to remove those bans from their constitution. According to the United States Supreme Court, such bans are unenforceable. A 1961 Supreme Court decision ruled unanimously in a Maryland case that no state can have a "religious test" for those holding public office. Raskin told The Associated Press in December, 2014, that the ban in Maryland is one of a number "obsolete provisions that are littering the constitution" that should be addressed by a constitutional convention. A referendum for a constitution convention is set for 2030.[42]
