The Constitution came quite some time after the nation "started". I'm not in the habit of defending EEE, but he's right. This country was founded on religious freedom and tolerance. That is exactly why people came to this country.

Separation of Church and state was meant to keep the STATE out of religion. I see the state is CONSTANTLY ruling upon religious matters, I DON'T see the Churches proclaiming laws upon the state.

Your confusing why the colonists came here with why (and how) the nation was formed.
