MODERATORS
Most of what you've described would inevitably lead to the establishment of a single party totalitarian state.
Don't like the opposing party? Just make it part of the test. Today, one party could exclude the other by including questions that agree or disagree with critical race theory, voter fraud, etc.
Same issue. Who determines impartiality? The party in power? Single party state.
Who determines "ethics"? Single party state.
What is religion? You're definitely banning several books, and possibly banning a lot more. Many books can be turned into a religion or contain religious aspects. The party in power decides what's a religion and what gets banned.
At that point, why have a separate Senate and House? The point of a two-chambered Congress is to balance state and federal power.
