Speaking at the Pastor for Life Luncheon, which was sponsored by Pro-Life Mississippi, Chief Justice Roy Moore of the Alabama Supreme Court declared that the First Amendment only applies to Christians because “Buddha didn’t create us, Mohammed didn’t create us, it was the God of the Holy Scriptures” who created us.
“They didn’t bring the Koran over on the pilgrim ship,” he continued. “Let’s get real, let’s go back and learn our history. Let’s stop playing games.”
He then noted that he loves talking to lawyers, because he is a lawyer who went to “a secular law school,” so he knows that “in the law, [talking about God] just isn’t politically correct.” He claimed that this is why America has “lost its way,” and that he would be publishing a pamphlet “this week, maybe next” that contained copies of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, thereby proving that all the people “who found this nation — black, white, all people, all religions, all faiths” knew that America was “about God.”

With most of metropolitan/urban USA being extremely multicultural, i'd like to assume these kinds of stories get press, as they are exceptions to the general rule/trend.
Not an overly religious person, but it's very sad that the concept of a higher power/force/faith/God can be used to defend such ludicrous arguments.
The universe works in amazing ways. I'm sure it'll be a "buddhist/hindu/muslim/jewish/etc" doctor in the USA that helps this old man at some point in his life.
I'll let the US Supreme Court tell me who the first ammendment protects thank you.
