One answer is that the government cannot recognize an official religion and thus cannot enforce religious beliefs.  The Bill of Rights is secular, and thus can be enforced by the government.  Belief in freedom of religion, about the right to worship as one pleases, is acknowledged, but you cannot force one person to follow another's religious beliefs.

I would really be interested in knowing why anyone would think that religion belongs in the political sphere.  Haven't we had enough with the Moral Majority and our Supreme Roman Catholic Court?  And take a moment to look at all the countries that enshrine religions of one type or another.  None are paragons of virtue: Hinduism in India, Judaism in Israel, Islam and Roman Catholicism in the Middle East and South and Central America, and Marxist Secularism in the countries still practicing that philosophical oxymoron. The countries that succeed both economically and socially keep politics and religion in separate lanes.
