Detailed explanation-1: -The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment prohibits government from encouraging or promoting ("establishing") religion in any way. That’s why we don’t have an official religion of the United States. This means that the government may not give financial support to any religion.
Detailed explanation-2: -The First Amendment requires a complete separation of church and state. The establishment clause of the U.S. Constitution prohibits the federal government from establishing a state-sponsored religion. A law that has any impact on religion is unconstitutional.
Detailed explanation-3: -Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Detailed explanation-4: -The 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.
