The Constitution, as it was written, only mentions religion once. In Article VI, paragraph 3, the Constituion states that state and federal office holders "shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."{emphasis added} This paragraph allows any individual to hold office, regardless of their religion. However, there is no other reference to religion anywhere in the Constitution.
September 9, 1789: The Senate fused the rights of religious freedom, speech, press, assembly, and petition into a single amendment of the Bill of Rights.

There is no such guarantee as freedom FROM religion. It is freedom OF religion. A big difference, don't you think?

Any church, any where, any time for any reason. You can even start your own church. You can preach love or hate. Just don't harm anyone.
