In this country we do not use guilt by association in the application of law.

Yes we do. See the RICO statutes. Giving material aid, association, or support to groups conspiring to break the law is illegal.

For example, insisting on suggesting, in a science book, in a public school, that students read a book supplied by a church that advocates a foundational tenate of that church's religion.

Advocating religious theology in public schools is bad enough, putting the unwarranted seal of scientific and school administration approval on it is flagrantly partisan.

You think RICO applies here? We were talking about someone perjuring himself and you jump over and start making accusations of a religious conspiracy trying to undermine the Constitution.

The first clause of the first amendment was written exclusively to protect religious liberty. Construing it to be made of two contradictory phrases is a modern misinterpretation rather than its original intent.
