The Founding Fathers wanted a government based on separation of state and religion, and freedom to worship as one pleased.

Governmental decisions should not be based on religion. How could they really, there's so many different beliefs and intrepretations, even within the Christian community itself. But there's also many more religious beliefs in our ever changing and diverse nation today that it would be difficult to not have a doctrine of separation of religion and state. I think our forefathers saw the future and the change it held for our great nation nd wrote an elastic document to change along with it, amendments and all.
