Which part of the constitution are you referring to in this claim?
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
This was meant for all religions or those who do not have a religion. Most likely (some statements at least suggest this from something I read) the founding father did not want any religion singled out. Religion was not the same as Christianity (as radio talking head Bryan Fisher said) but religion in the eyes of the founding fathers (at least some of the most important ones) included atheists, Muslims, Jews and other religions.
