Really? I thought it was a country founded on freedom of religion.
Judeo-Christian values as the basis for our laws.
Freedom of religion, absolutely. Our Founding Fathers were adamant that nobody could ever be coerced by the government into following any religion, nor could anyone be prevented from following any religion, as long as it’s done within the boundaries set by our laws, ie no beheadings or clitorectomies.
No, it was founded on Judeo-Christian principles and the concept that men were granted by their Creator certain inalienable rights and that it's the governments responsibility to protect those rights, one of which is freedom to worship without the state regulating it and determining which church you must attend.
If you study history and see what the religious/political climate was in England at the time the Constitution was written, you'd get a good feel for what they were striving to do.
