Apparently the Constitution is on my side. At least that's the case today. And if you've forgotten the Reformation and the battle between protestants and catholics in Ireland, and the Gunpowder plot, and the Anglican church's impact on the Pilgrims, then of course you could believe that religious freedom means the state's power to impose religious law.

Just look how patheticly you've abandoned any pretense of an argument.

No force of law = no establishment.

There are atheistic governments that will assertively 'protect' you, try enjoying freedom in one of them.
