There, fixed it for you. These issues were discussed by Hume, Paine and Locke and echoed in the Federalist Papers. The constitution is a construct of utilitarian and philosophical ideas.
"Except of course your interpretation "encompasses the context of the Founders time"." The above claim is directly contradicted by THIS statement.

Very 1st item in the Bill of Rights.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
The current attempt to impose the modern doctrine of human secularism (meely a different form of religious belif) on the majority by the minority of secularists IS both "an establishment of religion and a prohibiting the free exercise of" other religions. Clearly the valued religion so highly they made it the VERY 1st Right specifically mentioned in the Bill of Rights. The argument that they were agnostic, or secularist or anti religious is utterly without any factual merit based both in their personal, and their public, statements.
