Oh yes. But there is perhaps some confusion here over the term “state.” I’ve been talking just about the First Amendment and the U.S. Congress being prohibited from establishing a religion, which would be the “state religion.” And that was not just the invention of Jefferson, but it was a pragmatic decision since most of the public wouldn’t have accepted any one sect being established as the national or state religion before all the others.
Yes, I agree.
My husband explained it to me in the same manner.

I also think some further clarification is needed here to clear up some misunderstanding.
When you are using the word “state”, it is not meant to mean each of the states, as in Vermont, New York, etc.
Rather, you mean the word “state”, as in the phrase “state of the Union”.
If I am correct in the above stated thought, THEN, we agree!
