While Wilson did express a religious interpretation, the philosophy behind the construction of the constitution married many different concepts of natural law, both secular and religious. These days people like to argue about intent rather than marvel over how wise and ambiguous the design was. Separation does not exist in the document, which leaves each citizen to address the topic of how much religion they do or don't accept in their own governance. Freedom for citizen's to decide for their self is the brilliance of it.

Except of course your interpretation ignores the context of the Founders time. What they opposed was a State subsides Church where no believers were forced to PAY mandated taxes (know as tithes) to a Church they did not support. They NEVER would of continued this imposition of the Atheist LACK of religion on everyone else. It is EXACTLY counter to their fundamental beliefs.
