What factors motivated the Founding Fathers' attitude to religion in the emerging American republic?
Many of the founding fathers were from England or had ancestors from England. At the time, England was having battles over religion. The Catholics and the Protestants hated each other and were more than willing to do battle over that fact. The King of England had established The "Church of England" as the national religion. The founding fathers recognized the error in that action and put into the constitution, "Congress shall make no laws establishing a religion..." or something close. They never wanted to STOP religion, nor did they ever say that states and municipalities couldn't post the 10 Commandments or in other ways support religious belief. They just didn't want the government to establish "The Church of the United States" as an alternate income source for the government.

How did the federalist promise to support a bill of rights influence the ratification battles?
The Federalist promise to support the creation of a Bill of Rights helped to weaken their opposition. The biggest fear of the Antifederalists was that a massive and powerful federal government as contemplated by the Constitution of 1789 would be able to take away people's liberties. Since a Bill of Rights would protect people's liberties from the government, this helped to offset the strength of that argument.
