Perhaps it's best not to think of them as religious "groups" and instead think of them only as charities. If they are giving food, medicine, and clothes to the destitute or seeking a cure for cancer, why does it matter if they say "God loves you" or something of that nature? To be honest, I would fear an atheist president far worse than a man of religion.
This isn't a failure of our Constitution, nor is it a failure to enforce said charter; we simply have yet to reach an acceptable compromise and we are growing as a nation because of it. We shouldn't strive for a compromise without appreciating the process that led us there.
