Well, not exactly. *The SCOTUS is known to look at the writings of the
Framers and legislation they were involved in at the state level and so on
in making rulings. *E.g., in the recent 2nd Amendment case both sides
referred to such extra-Constitutional evidence in trying to illustrate what
the Framers meant.

Again, that is irrelevant to the point Phil made which is that the
Framers explicitly left religion out of the Constitution.
