Just reading through all the comments about how America was formed and with what ideals, etc., etc. JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT: America was founded in a time when Christianity was the only religion being persecuted, that anyone cared about. If you want to argue, how can you explain the Native religions (By everyone) and Caribbean religious beliefs were being openly persecuted. Religious persecution was a problem, a problem for Christians in Europe. The Founding Fathers realized that this was a major issue and implemented religious freedom into all aspects of America so it would never be an issue again. However, they were all from a Christian background or idealistic system. This then influenced how they made the country. If some of these other religions existed and were and issue at the time, it would have influenced how they made the country. The only problem is they weren't even heard of. So saying that it was meant for all religions that existed and to ever exist is a little unfair to say, because it had literally no impact. The only impact was that different Christian sects.
