I understand your close minded view of how the term established religion may or may not be used. Don't know how you keep missing that. Congress is prohibited from passing any laws regarding the establishment of religion. It doesn't prohibit the establishment of religion by any other organization that so wishes. Some how the Babtist church and the Arch Diocese got through your blockade and established their organizations in and around the USA. Maybe because the US congress is prohibited from passing any laws regarding their establishment. Maybe because once the US congress passes a law, it then is in the business of determining as a state what is ok and isn't ok religiously and then whatever results becomes the state sanctioned religion. Is it at all possible for you to see the whole picture? REGARDING is the problem because laws REGARDING result in STATE ESTABLISHMENTS instead of civil establishements. The first amendment didn't eliminate religious establisments... much as you might wish it did.
