I actually think the founding fathers were educated men who were absolutely aware of other religions like Islam and Judaism. And I think they intended ALL religions to be protected by the First Amendment.
It seems a bit absurd to argue that a man as well educated as James Adams did not know about other religions and used the word "religion" to mean ONLY Christianity.

I can not understand the meaning of this gibberish. I have never mentioned anything that is not clearly stated in the Constitution. "Religion" means "religion", and that is exactly what is written in the Constitution. What have I claimed that is not clearly written in the Constitution?
