the fundamental values of the Judaeo-Christian religious ethics that our society is based upon
Why then did the Founding Fathers write their own document based on humanist morals instead of adopting the Torah? Why does the Constitution expressly state separation of church and state right out of the gate in Amendment One?
Because the Founding Fathers knew that religious institutions were capable of being corrupt to fulfill with will of tyrants as they had in the crusade and inquisition. Considering the current state of corporate mega churches, they found a way to seize some sort of power anyway...
Many seem to take issues with the terminology "Judaeo-Christian" tell me friend, you intend to separate the new testament from the old ?
True the constitution forbids a state sponsored church, (remember many of the individual colonies form around particular denomination, and to ensure religious ideology wasn't forced on citizens, "Freedom of Religion" was incorporate rightly so..
NOT "Freedom from Religion" as so many would have you believe.
You'll find no argument with me on the corruption of organized religion, or the evils of it past and present sins the world over. We could probably waste the day away discuss it.
This is not the one true God that I know, nor the scripture I follow. Many have been led astray with false prophets.
Regardless of if Paul was chosen by God or not, he's still a man capable of man failures. And considering how splintered and divided Christianity has become especially in America, I don't think even you have a definition that's consistent with others... And that's because we all uniquely see the world in different.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing until you try to implement it as a government. And unfortunately or fortunately Jesus didn't leave any such instruction manual aside from being a decent neighbor. And if we do love our neighbors, then even the most devout of us must recognize the need to preserve everyone else's right to choose.
The problem is the most devout end up thinking themselves correct on everything and end up forcing their ideologies on others hence why the First Amendment is structured the way it is.
Why does the Constitution expressly state separation of church and state right out of the gate in Amendment One?
It doesn't expressly state separation of church and state.
"The First Amendment guarantees freedoms concerning religion, expression, assembly, and the right to petition. It forbids Congress from both promoting one religion over others and also restricting an individual's religious practices."

Lots of false prophets? Like Paul?

Have you read the Gospels? From Genesis to Revelation, Jesus left an instruction manual.
Paul was an apostle of Jesus Christ, not a false prophet. He wrote half of the New Testament.
It doesn't expressly state separation of church and state.
