It's well established that any seperation of church and state only applies at the federal level. States are supposed to be able to do whatever they want.

So states could mandate that all its residents have to be one religion, or that those of a certain religion would have more or less advantages, preferences, or restrictions? I don't think so.

That would be establishing a religion, which is not what I said.

You neglected to explain how a state would go about mandating these things. Do you honestly believe that politicians would even attempt to pass legislation such as this?
