Not sure your question had anything to do with the post but I'll answer it anyway.

Some religions are prejudiced against women and other religions and inherently violent and barbaric.

I agree with you that there is no religious test for becoming President but there are voters who want no part of someone who would be a follower of what some religions espouse. Like a father killing his daughter to preserve his honor. Or a group in the name of religion beheading a group of volunteer workers because a book was burned half way around the world.
