In this appeal by a Buddhist from a conviction of murder, we are confronted with the question of whether the provision of Article 36 of the Maryland Declaration of Rights that no person shall be deemed incompetent as a juror on account of religious belief “provided he believes in the existence of God” has been rendered unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment by the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States.
