More precisely, the Constitution was fashioned for the governance of a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the governance of any others. Therein lies the cause of strife on this forum, as many here whom are not moral and religious are gonna take umbrage when confronted with that.
I have no idea what this means. How many drinks in are you this afternoon?
Seriously though, some time pick up Freethinkers by Susan Jacoby or one of many other books that describe in detail the religious proclivities of the crafters of the Constitution.
Many of the founders and crafters themselves were not particularly religious (those that were were often Deists that weren't down with organized, traditional religion) and most were Enlightenment thinkers that valued reason and were quite skeptical of religious authority. As you know, the government they founded was intentionally secular to optimize religious freedom.
So, no, the Constitution wasn't aimed at governing religious people exclusive of others and I'm not even sure how much "moral" plays a part. Maybe it was intended to govern people that "abide by laws and/or the courts that intervene when laws are broken" but that seems self-evident.
So I'm back to not knowing what you're talking about.
