Constitution: For it is how we are supposed to govern our nation. A bunch of guys got together and said, "We really don't like how England is treating us and we should start our own country, a country where justice and fairness would govern all. Now if we have slipped from that is another topic.
I have nothing against the Bible. It too has some good codes (like the 10 commandments), but it's vastly misinterpreted. The Constitution is less muddy.

The Constitution is more important. This document guarantees freedom to all citizens, regardless of their beliefs, be they Christian, Muslim, Pagan, Atheist, Hinduist, Buddhist, Agnostic, whatever. You're free to have those beliefs.
The Bible, however, is a book unique to Christianity. I've read it, and it guarantees no rights to women, to foreigners(believe me, there's a passage in the OT about making slaves of the foreigners living among the Israelites), and not being Christian is pretty much a given death sentence.
Seeing as how America is a free democratic republic, the choice is pretty obvious. Freedom for all, or freedom for only a privileged few in power?

There would be no America without the constitution. There would have been no America without the Bible either, but that is because people wouldn't have to escape the radicals it spawned in Europe. If that would have happened I'm sure the whole world would be a different place.

Hopefully All Americans believe in the Constitution, not all believe in the Bible. The subject of America is the right to believe in the religion of your choice!

The Constitution of course. It is what protects the Bible.

This is why there is a separation of Church and State. Bible is religion and the Constitution is US law. One has nothing to do with the other.

Although many of the founding fathers were of the christian persuasion, the bible is not what constitutes laws in this country, and there are way too many people here who are not Christians, so I have to say...........the constitution.
