Congress is not forbidden from passing a law that disrespects a particular religion. That is as long as it doesn't disrespect all religions except one.

Maybe you sould look up the contemporary usage of "respecting". It was not used in the sense of "paying respect to"; rather it meant "regarding" or "concerning". IOW, Congress was to keep its nose out of religion -- pro or con...
