The intent of the constitution was to prevent a State church rising at the federal level. Most of those 13 original colonies actually had state churches when they signed on. These were removed over time without court order because it was beyond the scope of the constitution to limit State activity. Some whinning atheists complaining about a few crosses being erected with private money would have been laughed out of court in those days.
Today liberals have filled the courts with activists who see the constitution as a document that needs to be changed to conform with their social agenda.
We and this thread has been talking about North America. Canada has a State church .

It really makes me laugh when people like you pick and choose the manner in which you want the Constitution to be interpreted. Religion = just like the founders. Guns = nothing like the founders.
