And "respecting an establishment" does NOT mean "establishing." Not in anyone's English.

It was one of the preliminary draft wordings of the clause.
"Regarding an establishment of religion" is the meaning, with "establishment" being a gerund.
In any case, Judge Moore's artwork doesn't cause someone in Birmingham to be forced to go to the "Great Church of the Indomitable X."
There is no establishment of religion.
