No, you are mistaken on both counts. The COTUS gave us the vote, defined powers and so much more. The BOR 1A conveyed to the religious a freedom from governmental control on the exercise (and establishment) thereof. It did not so convey the same restraint on the government outside of religion within those defined powers.

Like I said it didn't give us the government rather as you said defined/limited the powers of the government. The COTUS does not provide any explicit right to vote so to say it gives us that right is incorrect. The BOT 1A protects the rights that are inalienable to mankind. It does not deliver those rights. The 10th covers rights that are not explicitly protected by the Constiution and leaves that up to the "States, or to the people".

Essential isn't the issue unless Christians want to argue that liquor stores and marijuana distributors are essential. I don't consider churches essential but I do consider the Constitution essential to America and the Constitution, which liberals hate, protects religion.
I know some Christians who don't like free speech, a free press, the right to bear arms, or many of the other rights recognized--not granted--in the Constitution.
The Constitution has been under serious attack since our first socialist president over 80 years ago.

I admit I'm not religious today but I don't ever remember the Bible or the religious suggesting we do stupid unsafe things that could kill our loved ones and ourselves. Religion has changed that's for sure.
