This forked tongued prince needs to read our Declaration of Independence. It is through this document that passage of the Constitution was made possible. Had the Constitutional Convention balked at the inclusion of the ten amendments to that document, there would not have a ratification of it by the states.
It is by and through our Creator - not the state - that American Citizens gained their freedom from state interference into their religious choices, and their ability to assemble for any other purpose.
Of course freedom comes from God, but it certainly helps to have a state that has laws that will implement true religious freedom , particularly as a Catholic confessional state is a practical impossibility in the modern day.
