The First Amendment forbids Congress from establishing religion, and the Fourteenth extends that.

The Constitution is far from silent.

Several states collected tithes on behalf of churches well into the 19th century. The 1st Amendment hasn't changed since then. My local county creche hardly threatens the Constitution.

The radical left consistently takes their constructs to extremes. Neither the Constitution nor the 14th Amendment would have been ratified if the public had know that 20th century loony left judges would warp them into such contortions. Socialism cannot compete with God. Therefore, God must go.

Christianity saves lives, socialism has murdered many tens of millions.
