At the time the constitution was signed, I believe all the individual states had a state sponsored Christian religion, and they were mostly different. One of the purposes of the 1st amendment was to constrain the federal government and prohibit it from determining a national Christian religion which could start internal religious wars.

Exactly - I am opposed to the first amendment applying to the states as well.

YO should look up and read Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptist, it will clear many things up for you.
It will even educate on the fallacy of "separation of Church and State" and the meaning of the 10th.
