Article VI

Today I saw the movie Article VI faith and Politics in America. This movie explores the history of the sixth article of the Constitution; it attempts to discover how this law is being accepted, and how well it is understood among the American people. The film focuses on the part that says: “no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.” This is a must see movie, and yes it does mention Mitt Romney, but the movie does not focus on him, it isn’t about him, even though I am sure that he must have been the inspiration for it. I enjoyed the strong opinions of everyone that participated in the movie. I found it to be a documentary that in the end finds common ground, and emphasizes the American in us all. It is unlike every Michael Moore movie that I have seen. It is not a feel bad but rather a feel good movie. It does a fine job tackling a tough and touchy subject.
