Wrong.
The passage is "Congress shall pas no law respecting an establishment of religion".
IT DOES *NOT* SAY "ESTABLISHMENT OF *A* RELIGION"!!!!!!
The word "establishment" is a NOUN in that sentence!
A church or school is an establishment of religion - in the way, as I like to use as an example - that a pub is an establishment of alcohol.
There is a HUGE difference there.
