No amendment was needed to keep the Congress from making any laws that abridge the freedom of religion. It was well understood that the Constitution granted the government no power whatsoever over religion.

I find it appalling that Justice Antonin Scala, in his dissenting opinion in McCreary County v. ACLU, constructed his model of "the relationship between church and state" in America without even considering the actual text of the Constitution. How do incompetents like him get on the U. S. Supreme Court?
