Reading comprehension a problem? I never said they had an established church, rather a tax for the support of churches.
Five states kept state tax support of religion for many more years. The Land Ordinance of 1785 and the Northwest Ordinance both REQUIRED public lands be set aside for churches. They 'admixed' a lot.
