So we should be reminded what the First Amendment really provides regarding the "establishment of religion". If there is a law 'made' by Congress, which purports to establish a religion, that law is unconstitutional, though even that conclusion was not actually the main purpose of the drafters the First Amendment, which was to prohibit the Federal Government from interfering with religion in the states, some states having had, and having continued to have, an established religion. Nothing in the Constitution establishes atheism as the official religion of the United States or requires Americans to cease recognition of their reliance on Divine Providence for their liberty. Those are the purposes of the ACLU and others who wish to banish God from society
