I think any presidential hopeful should be required to read the Constitution. Just maybe Donald Trump and Ben Carson will understand that we are a nation of laws established by the people and for the people.
Try reading Article 6 of the Constitution before you decide to impose religious restrictions that eliminate all but Christians from becoming president. Though you may agree with these narrow assertions, you do so in violation of said Constitution.
Article VI
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.

Let's be sure to separate fact from opinion and reality from imagination. This country was not, and historical facts prove, founded as a Christian nation.
If you want to see what a country ruled by the religious (theocracy) looks like I suggest you investigate life in Iran and several other countries governed by a theocracy.
We can all agree that we live in a great country because of religious liberty not in spite of it. Diversity of thought, race, creed, culture, and faith are the components of the great chord of strength that connects us as a nation. Sever that chord and you undo everything the framers, who designed our historic constitution believed, and you nullify the ratification votes of the people who's vote ordained and established it.
