Arkansas Constitution: Miscellaneous Provisions

1. Atheists disqualified from holding office or testifying as witness.

No person who denies the being of a God shall hold any office in the
civil departments of this State, nor be competent to testify as a
witness in any Court.

Several states have such provisions in their constitutions, but they have all been superceded by the Fourteenth Amendment to the federal Constitution, and are unenforceable.

person isn't doing the same thing.
