James Madison, the father of both the Constitution and the First Amendment, consistently warned against any attempt to blend endorsement of Christianity into the law of the new nation. Who does not see that the same authority which can establish Christianity, in exclusion of all other Religions, he wrote in his Memorial and Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments in 1785, may establish with the same ease any particular sect of Christians, in exclusion of all other Sects? Unlike the Articles of Confederation, the Constitution conspicuously omits any reference to God. (2011)
