Kerebos says: "Which is why the founders incorporated it into our Constitution"

Delphinium says:

What exactly did the founders incorporate into the Constitution that would keep Christians from being a part.

Delph, people get confused. The believe what they're told. They never bother READING the Constitution. the FREE EXERCISE CLAUSE is what Kerebos missed.

The "political party" that pushed through the famous mediaeval Magna Carta of the wonderful 13th-century was "the Army of God" (literally). Cardinal Stephen Langton, the Catholic Archbishop of Canterbury, had something to do with crafting the Latin prose.

As far as I can tell - and I welcome any clarification on this - there is NOTHING in the U.S. Constitution which denies us from still enjoying the securities and blessings of Magna Carta and Common Law. It would be a real constitutional conundrum to throw up the question whether the U.S. Constitution even could deny such principles.
