Had the federalists had their way, there would be no BOR.

But it's the very BOR itself (First Amendment) which contains the anti-establishment clause, as any semblance of an official religion would stifle religious freedom.

I don't argue for theocracy, I argue that exorcising God and religion from the public square is both anti-constitutional and in direct conflict to the beliefs of the founders, including the deists.

Just when you construct a better argument, the universe creates a more idiotic creationist.
