And, of course, the Constitution says more than you quoted: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

Your condescesion doesn't change the fact that the subject of that passage is still "Congress", and everything after it applies only to Congress.

My condescension is warranted, apparently:

Article VI, Clause 2:

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof ... shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

Sorry.
