Yep. And what was the very first thing Congress did after completing the final wording of the 1st Amendment? A resolution calling for a national day of Prayer...

The Bill of Rights hadn't yet been ratified and therefore were not yet the law of the land. Nice try. :)

So, those who crafted the 1st Amendment immediately disregarded it and had a "let's proclaim a national day of prayer and acknowledge God before this monster we have created comes into effect and we will no longer be allowed to" attitude?

I think not.
