Doesn't matter. If a word in the Constitution has a plain meaning, there is no need to look at original intent. "Religion" includes not only Christian denominations, but every other faith on the planet.

Thats precisely what I have been saying, if the founding fathers wanted to say Christian denominations they would have said just that. Intelligent men like the founding fathers wouldn't leave important words in a constitution (or any other important legal document) so ambiguous, it quite literally means what it says and says what it means.
