As a matter of fact, if I have a sufficiently large majority (a Constitutional majority), I can change every word in the Constitution and the Amendments, including, as an example, establishing a national religion. All it requires is 2/3's of each house of Congress, and 3/4's of the state legislatures.

Indeed you could--if you are overly fond of anarcy and tyranny. It is very tough on people to have to re-establish a basis for the common law, and it is rare to get it right. that's what's so insanely great about our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Useless as they are now, they served us well for 250 years--longer than the Roman Republic lasted, longer than the reign of any benign monarch. A triumph in a realm where punting and going belly-up is the common expectation.
