What they mean is "Congress shall make no laws..." All other rights are reserved to the States are they not?
Or to the individual.
Please do not fall into the liberal trap that all our rights are spelled out in the Constitution. Just because something is not enumerated therein does not mean it is not a right reserved to the individual or to the state.

Nope. -- Congress shall make no laws regarding religion.. All other individual rights are protected from ~any~ type of government infringement.
All other rights are reserved to the States are they not?
No.. -- All other rights are reserved to the people.
- Other powers are reserved to the States, some of which are prohibited by our BoR's, as per the Tenth Amendment:
"-- The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. --"
