Government officials using their political authority to specifically advocate a narrow sectarian viewpoint is establishment - which is prohibited by the 1st amendment.
The establishment clause only applies to the US Congress and has nothing to do with the states at all.

The establishment clause only applies to the US Congress and has nothing to do with the states at all. The 14th Amendment applied to Bill of Rights to the states. If you believe that is incorrect, then I guess you also believe that the states can outlaw the right to bear arms.
