35. Absolutely.
But the Bill of Rights were the first Ten Amendments to the Constitution. The Declaration of Independence was to declare our break from England.

I am not looking at these documents in a vacuum. But also into the context of other writings by the founding Fathers, such as the Jeffersonian Bible, the works of Thomas Paine, John Stuart Mill, The Treaty of Tripoli as well as Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptist Church.

I believe that the USA was founded upon the principles of a secular nation. As noted in the Constituion and other writings by our Founding Fathers.
