Hard to imagine this being challenged ever, since someone who did would be run out of the state on a rail. But it plainly runs afoul of the U.S. Constitution:
CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI
Article 14. GENERAL PROVISIONS
Current through 2011
§ 265. Denial of Supreme Being disqualification to hold office
No person who denies the existence of a Supreme Being shall hold any office in this state.
Source:Goes to show that you never know what you'll find when you go thumbing through the 1890 Constitution.
1817 art VI § 6; 1832 art VII § 5; 1869 art XII § 3.
