Have nice day.
There is nothing in the US Constitution that says the States cannot
create a state religion.
The First Amendment to the Constitution rules against an establishment
of religion. The U.S. Constitution is interpreted by the Supreme Court.
In 1947, the Supremes ruled the Establishment Clause inherent in the
first amendment applied to the states, ergo, NO state religion. And
later the Supremes ruled that individual states could not promote
religion.
States cannot create a "state religion."
Why did you carefully snip this?
