But that's kind of the point. Congress can't establish a religion. State can do what it likes. Furthermore, Louisiana is not establishing a religion; it is naming a state book (just like a state bird, flower, or tree). I think this illuminates the limits of Federal power brilliantly. I hope it succeeds.

The first amendment most definitely applies to state government action. They can’t tell you what to say or who to pray to...
I think an official state book that happens to be a religious text is pretty darn close if not over the line.
