Your arguement would allow states to infringe on a feller's rights to keep and bear arms.

Actually it wouldn't. Amendment 1 states "Congress shall make no law..." while Amendment 2 states "... the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Therefore, while the power to recognize the role of faith/religion in the history of a state/community (especially its founding) is not prohibited to the states by the Constitution, infringing the right of the people to keep and bear arms is DEFINITELY prohibited to the states or anyone else.

Ok, I concede on that.

> the power to recognize the role of faith/religion in the history of a state/community

Just so that doesn't become an endorsement.
