The Framers of the US Constitution were men from various religious denominations. This was unlike England, which had made the Anglican religion the official state religion. By doing so the British government could persecute peoples who did not belong to the official state church. With that said, the beginning phrase of the First Amendment of the US Constitution reads as follows:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;........"
As an aside, there is no mention of the words "separation of church and state"" in any official US documents in the Republic's early years. The words were taken from a private letter written by Thomas Jefferson, many years after the Constitution was ratified.
