What I addressed was prohibiting the government from promoting the exercise of a specific religion.

The government is not prohibited from promoting religion, specific or not. It is prohibited from establishing a state religion, entirely different.

I see that it is your opinion that the government is not prohibited from promoting a specific religion to the exclusion of others. That view is contrary to the entirety of Establishment Clause jurisprudence. Do you really believe that a state can favor one religion over others under the U.S. Constitution?
