I don't know how Luther justified his doctrine of "the Bible ALONE as the sole rule of faith," when the phrase or concept isn't in the Bible.
But it didn't bother Luther, and most Protestants don't seem to be troubled by it either.
I see it as a contradiction.
Deflection? Really?
So what else would you add? Some nations would love to add allegience to the State to required worship.
You can understand the dangers, right?
