Actually it doesn't have a freedom of religion thing.
The first amendment only says that the Federal Government can't make a
Federal law respecting a certain religion.

The original framers of our government didn't intend to keep religion

the bullshit modern dogma against Christianity.
I'll cite just one, but I can cite a ton more if need be.
Constitution of Delaware Article 22:
ART. 22. Every person who shall be chosen a member of either house, or appointed to any office or place of trust, before taking his seat, or entering upon the execution of his office, shall take the following oath, or affirmation, if conscientiously scrupulous of taking an oath, to wit:
" I, A B. will bear true allegiance to the Delaware State, submit to its constitution and laws, and do no act wittingly whereby the freedom thereof may be prejudiced."
And also make and subscribe the following declaration, to wit:
"
I, A B. do profess faith in God the Father, and in Jesus Christ His only Son, and in the Holy Ghost, one God, blessed for evermore; and I do acknowledge the holy scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be given by divine inspiration."
