Thanks for the ping!

Truly, our Constitution guarantees the freedom of religion - not the freedom from religion. The restriction is that congress shall not establish a (state) religion.

More specifically, Alamo-Girl, the first amendment says there shall be no laws “respecting an establishment of religion.”

It does more than prevent the government from establishing a religion. It prevents the government from making any laws which support or decry religion.
