Thank you, Joan, for a well-researched and written report. I noted one thing while I was collecting URLs Sunday, someone, and I don't really feel like re-reading everything this minute, stated that at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, only two states permitted non-Trinitarian Protestant Christians to hold public office. I know you mentioned a few that did not allow deists, Jews, Catholics, and so on to hold public office, but this site said all but two prohibited members of these religions from holding public office, probably Maryland was one? Which is why the U.S. Constition doesn't allow a religious test for eligibility for public office.
