The framers of our Constitution meant we were to have freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.

Summary

This quote suggests that the original intention of the framers of the Constitution was to protect the freedom of individuals to practice their religion, rather than the complete separation of religion from public life. It implies that the concept of freedom of religion was primarily aimed at ensuring that individuals could freely exercise their religious beliefs without interference from the government or other religious groups, rather than promoting a completely secular society where religion has no role.
