Well it is true that originally freedom of religion applied almost 
exclusively to some or other variant of Christianity.
But just as women were recognized as legitimate voters ( not that long 
ago) and Africans were
admitted to be people, so other religions have also acquired 
constitutional protection.
  Secular government under an all-inclusive God and laws based on 
Rationality and compassion,
are supposed to be the result.
