“The problem with this, of course, is that a church-state monopoly is required.

I think the founders should have made Christianity the state religion, with tolerance and expected love for Jews. It should not have been one denomination of Christianity, but Christianity no less. Other religions or no religion may have been allowed from citizens, but Christianity would be understood to be the official religion of the USA.
