If what you are implying is true, then why were "official" state religions in existence at the time of the constitution? In fact, it wasn't until the late 1800's when the Supreme Court (in an amazing display of arrogation) ruled that there could be no such thing as official state religions.
I can find nowhere any of our founding fathers condemning these early "official" religious situations. Their problems seemed to stem more from a fear that the federal government would support one "official" religion than anything else.
