If I were writing a constitution I would do the same. Besides why should they try to be sneaky? They were making the rules, they could do anything they wanted. Their concern, as was the framers of the federal constitution, that people would be discriminated for their religion, not lack of it.

But they did not think about/care about blue laws, cabbies refusing to take fares because they had beer in their grocery bags, and the possibility that we could exclude non-believers from office, which we
can do right now in many states.
