It would help if you read the Constitution and understood the men who wrote it.

I have read it, including Article VI. Have you?

I presume that you are refering to Article VI, Section 3:
The senators and representatives before-mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.

This protects people of all denominations, but does not change the makeup of the people who founded this country or the social basis they considered necessary for its survival, or even the fact that most states did have organized churches.
