But if the Bible played such a large role, why did they create the First Amendment which allows for direct violation of the First Commandment?

[Tailgunner Joe]

The real object of the First Amendment was not to countenance much less to advance Mohammedanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity, but to exclude all rivalry among Christian sects [denominations] and to prevent any national ecclesiastical patronage of the national government. - Joseph Story
