ANycGuy: If you believe in religion being taught in state-sponsored schools, please explain how the religion and sect (that is, interpretation of holy books) would be decided upon.
pby: The Mayflower compact reads that a Christian nation was to be established...I would start there.
By all means, please continue. You want religion taught in state-sponsored schools. Tell me how the religion and sect of teaching would be decided for each district. Start at an extra-constitutional, vastly pre-revolutionary document if you'd like, but I want to hear your proposal all the way to the end.

The Bible and the Watts Hymnal were used in public schools post-Revolutionary War (Early 1800's Washington D.C. and etc.). I guess the framers didn't share your same "constitutional" concerns.
And regardless of what I believe...It is a historical fact that the Bible was used in public schools (state-sponsored) for hundreds of years.
