the prophecy of the US Constitution being wholly inadequate to the government of the immoral and irreligiousI'm not sure it was a "prophecy" - but it's certainly true. I find no record of any Founding Father saying government could make people moral and religious, whether by banning immoral and irreligious actions or by any other means.

You’re exactly right, and that was John Adams’ point about the US Constitution.
