And I don't see "Christianity" mentioned anywhere in the First Amendment.

Hair splitting aside (not you, the who settled here first side-debate). They pilgrims came here to freely practice Christianity and the first Amendment stated no one would infringe upon the practice of that religion. They understood we were a nation founded on Christian principles. It probably never crossed their minds that they should specify because 250 later about 5% of the nation would be other religions.
