Our Godless Constitution

The framers of the Constitution were all God-fearing, church-going men of high moral character. At least they memorialized themselves as such. Their fear of an 'established' religion' works in harmony with the free exercise clause in a seamless fashion. Lack of an an established religion merely means that the Federal Government could not impose a particular religion on all the inhabitants of the country. Rather they free to exercise any religion which they chose.
