The brilliance of the Founding Fathers recognized that the country and the Courts could and should over time interpret the language of the Constitution in changing times and circumstances. Hence, over time, we saw the promulgation of the Bill of Rights and amendments to the Constitution. I suspect the Fathers would be delighted that over the last 250 plus years their vision would play out in reality. Strict, literal constructs of both the Constitution, and the Bible for that matter, I submit goes against the intent of the Founding Fathers.
