First off, it was not the Founding Fathers who composed or ratified any of the 10 amendments. Those amendments were redacted from James Madison's speech as a member of the 1st Congress under the Constitution.
You're giving Madison way too much credit. Madison largely copied the Bill of Rights from the
Virginia Declaration of Rights. The Virginia Bill of Rights was ratified by a number of US founder heavyweights.
When Iraq drafted its constitution a few years ago, the Bush Administration allowed it to pass without a clause for religious freedom. Big mistake. Many Christians have been forced to flee the country.
