Freedom of religion was put in to keep the various factions of Christianity(religion of liberty) from conflicting with one another.
worth repeating more than once.

There would be no personal liberty in Western Civilization - nor even the general concept of it - without Biblical Christianity.

It is a prohibition on the government from doing something.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion...
This was put in place to prevent the government from establishing a governmental or national church/religion. (think of "Church of England")

First Amendment and ReligionThe First Amendment has two provisions concerning religion: the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause. The Establishment clause prohibits the government from "establishing" a religion. The precise definition of "establishment" is unclear. Historically, it meant prohibiting state-sponsored churches, such as the Church of England.
