It is not a matter of proof but of values. There are the values of freedom which at the time were unique American values and then there are the values of Christians who essentially take their orders for god and live in a universe that does not value freedom but obedience and subservience to god and his minions. They wiggle and equivocate about the constitution but it is not because they don't understand it, but because they disagree with it. The law of god should trump the law of man and we are slaves of god. So freedom is out the door.
