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.

STEPHEN MILLER GOES OFF ON ROGUE JUDGES: "If a district court judge can be involved in the conduct of foreign policy, under no definition do we have a democracy in this country.
"If we get into a place in this country where district court judges could interfere and direct specific targeting or non-targeting, and say who to control territory? Could direct which general on the battlefield is gonna be in charge of making which decisions? Could direct where we can send this military asset to this country, but not this country? Could direct what intelligence we could share with Israel versus with Saudi Arabia?"
"I mean, you know, not to get too philosophical, but the for a long time in this country, its power has been concentrated principally in, in two areas, the unelected bureaucracy and the unelected judiciary."
"And power has been increasingly concentrated in these two areas. And in the case of, the hard left, the the judiciary takes steps to protect the bureaucracy, and that further shrinks the circle in which democracy is occurring."
"This is really fundamentally about democracy. The American people said to get these terrorist gangs the H*LL out of our country, the president has plenary authority under the constitution, under the Alien Enemies Act, under core Article 2 powers to achieve that."
"And no district court judge who presides over some small, like, little geography of the whole country could possibly presume to have the authority to direct the expulsion of terrorists from our soil, who, by the way, are also here illegally."
