One of the reasons that we find the current that we find in our founding documents (and literature from the same men outside those documents) is that religious persecution (amusingly in this time period of christians - by christians - you see they were not - and did not view themselves- as a monolithic bloc with a common faith...in fact, quite the opposite...even in our government, godamned papists! - exclaimed the protestants.), religious wars - sponsored by the state religion (both in england, france, and other countries as well) were a very real and very recent experience - heavy on the minds of those forming our (then) new nation. There was no need to refer to the crusades or some christian eating lions (on this note I agree with Min..it's a shame there aren't more of these lions around today...and we ought to invest in some).
