Nope.......the original intent of the US Constitution was to limit federal
powers to those proscribed in the Constitution, as well as defining a few
certain rights......everything else was left to the states........it has
only been through 200 years of perversion that the country has become
federalized and thus corrupted.

The fact that several states had official state religions is proof of
that. The Constitution was intended to be interpreted as it was
written......thus no "Federally established religion" not the perverted
"separation of church and state" that exists today

Ah, the old original intent BS. The Constitution was never meant to be a
static document, see Article V. The Fourteenth Amendment prohibits state
religions. If this makes you unhappy, you are free to once again amend
the Constitution, but fortunately, I doubt you will find the votes.
