I'm not sure how that's logically connected to anything under debate here.

The Constitution certainly doesn't say that you can't make laws which are consistent with any particular religion. For instance, just because the bible says "Thou Shalt Not Kill" doesn't mean they can't make a law against murder.

A law against murder has a secular purpose of preventing harm.

Making a law that prevents a group of people from having their constitutionally guaranteed rights because someone's god says they are sinners worthy of death has no secular purpose.

It is only made more ridiculous when you consider the fact that the same people that believe that gays are worthy of being treated as less than people because their god says so ignore the exact same language in the bible that forbids them eating shellfish, pork and wearing clothing made of mixed fibers.
