Here’s the flip side of that “religious test” coin!

Religious tests are forbidden by The Constitution. This is more proof that the Democrats can't be trusted with our civil rights. And these clowns want to transform The United States into a democratic socialist country, where they have even more power? **** that ****.

That isn't a religious test, it's a homophobia test and his constituents have a right to know if homophobia will affect his duty as a judge.

The question that was asked wasn’t related to his duty as a judge
It was a leading question to determine whether or not he was homophobic. The reason people have a right to know whether or not he is homophobic is because he is a judicial nominee. It would be no different than asking a leading question to determine if he had racist beliefs. The very fact of a person being a homophobe or a racist makes their judicial nomination questionable.
Booker is a clueless fool.......... Spartacus strikes again!
Cory Booker schooled by Kavanaugh replacement pick after question on ‘LGBTQ law clerks’

"Have you ever had any LGBTQ law clerks?" Booker asked.
Rao responded: "Senator, I've yet to be a judge. I don't have law clerks."
Booker didn’t miss a beat, and clarified that he meant “someone working for you.” Rao is currently the head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, a position described as the Trump administration’s “deregulatory czar."
“To be honest I don’t know the sexual orientation of my staff,” Rao responded. “I take people as they come, irrespective of their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation. I treat people as individuals.”
Christian=homophobe to you, you must be a delight at parties

Christian does not equal homophobe, unless you think all Christians are against homosexuality. If that's the case, then it is you to whom Christian = homophobe.
Clueless fool?
Doh! Booker, a Rhodes Scholar, has an impressive athletic pedigree, an undergraduate degree from Stanford and a Law Degree from Yale. Upon graduating Yale, he eschewed the prospect of beginning a career with a prestigious law firm, instead returning to the Newark area, serving on the city council, then Mayor of Newark, then as the junior Senator from NJ.
It's absolutely a religious test.
Only to the terminally deluded and blissfully inebriated.
It wasn't a test, nor can you show that it was.
Asking someone whether or not something is a "sin" to them is a religious test. It may not be as nasty as asking if they are a "Papist." It may not be as sinister as asking whether or not they believe in transubstantiation over consubstantiation. But it is a question directly regarding their personal religious faith and is unacceptable.
Booker could have asked: "Do you believe gay people are entitled to equal protection under presently-existing public accommodation laws?" I think that is a perfectly acceptable question to ask, and gets to the meat of the issue without bringing in the candidates religious faith.

That fact that you are so close mined that thinking that something is a sin means that you are against a person and would be discriminate towards them shows that you are incapable of understanding the problem with the question posed by Booker
Shame. This country was founded on religious freedom and yet the left want no one to have religious freedom. They must be persecuted for any and all beliefs. Constitution be damned.
Is it incorrect to say that if you think something is a sin, you are not in favor of it?
Moving the goal post, you originally claimed that if someone think something is a sin they are irrevocably prejudiced against it

If someone is against something, they are prejudiced against it. (Not irrevocably so.)
If a sin is something you are against, and you think homosexuality is a sin, then you are prejudiced against it. (Not irrevocably so.)
If you are against homosexuality, then you are homophobic.
If all Christians believe homosexuality is a sin, then all Christians are homophobic.
If not all Christians believe homosexuality is a sin (which I believe is the case,) then not all Christians are homophobic.
