Yeah, because "congress shall make no law respecting an establishment
of religion" and "no religious Test shall ever be required as a
Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States"
sounds exactly like "Christianity is the de-facto religion of the
United states, that should be clear even without saying it."

I just can't see how "shall make no law" and "no religious test shall
ever be required" can be read as "the United States government and the
constitution are Christian."

I just love how some Americans are trying so hard to rewrite their own
history and their own constitution.
