During Constantine’s reign certain people determined what the sacred texts would be and how they were to be interpreted. This led to The Arian Controversy over “Begotten.” “Did Jesus become God after he was born? Or was he always God?” This was the debate. Some people believed Jesus became God as an adult to reward what he had done. Debate ensued. The Nicene Creed came about as a result of that. “Jesus was born divine” is what won the debate. But people were still pissed and bickered over it. Emperor Constantine wrote : “And I herby make a public order, that if someone should be discovered to have hidden a writing composed by Arius and not to have immediately brought it forward and be destroyed by fire, his penalty should be death.” - Edict by Emperor Constantine against the Arians. Now, theological division was heresy punished by death.
So much for "Congress shall make no law regarding the establishment of religion" in the early days of Christianity.
