>became the Establishment Clause of the Bill of Rights.
Sorry, I was being imprecise. I mean the same right was later enshrined in the Establishment Clause, which is part of the First Amendment. You can compare the Establishment Clause in the First Amendment to the below petition, that was written more than a century earlier by John Clarke.
The appeal of John Clarke to Charles II for the charter of Rhode Island (1663)
"That they might be permitted to hold forth a lively experiment that a most flourishing civil state may stand, and best be maintained, with a full liberty in religious concernments; and that true piety, rightly grounded upon gospel principles, will give the best and greatest security to sovereignty, and will lay in the hearts of men the strongest obligation to true loyalty."
And to prove that these were religious individuals, see the following text from their original compact.
The Portsmouth Compact
"The 7th day of the first month, 1638. We whose names are underwritten do here solemnly in the presence of Jehovah incorporate ourselves into a Bodie Politick and as he shall help, will submit our persons, lives and estates unto our Lord Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and to all those perfect and most absolute laws of his given us in his holy word of truth, to be guided and judged thereby."
The above political compact was signed by John Clarke and many others upon the founding of the settlement of Portsmouth, Rhode Island. So then, this shows the essential origin of the free world, wherein people are allowed to exercise the freedom of expression that we still have today.

Man, you really don't know your own history that good, do you?
>Time for Atheism to reign!
How enlightening, sir.
