Ah, the twist. Not gov't espousal of religion, rather, gov't taking over religion to control the unwashed masses. Thus began the battle of the church, against gov't. This is why the founders parsed the freedom of religion as they did. Never, EVER, think they intended NO religion. And I don't care who the Doc. is. Christianity has, overall, been good for the U.S.A. Our downfall began when Christian principals were basically outlawed. Witness the social decline (crime in general, murders, divorce, homosexuality) since the early sixties. Making Christianity the bad player is asinine.
