5. Your question asked if we were aware that you had to be a
Christan to run for office. The answer is no you don't have to be.

You have to swear to God: "I, A. B., do solemnly swear, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and will support the constitution thereof. So help me God."

Nobody is going to ask you if you believe in a God you just swore by.

I never understand why atheist are so offended by the concept of god.

If you don't believe in god, why care?

I could care less if someone swore allegiance to their belly lint as long as they hold up the laws and constitution of the people they were elected to represent.
