Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion...
Who's trying to establish religion? Maybe some figures on the fringe, but not much else. Refusing to force religious organizations to pay for contraception and abortificants, certainly doesn't amount to establishing religion, and arguably is part of "prohibiting the free exercise thereof". Even totally outlawing contraception wouldn't be establishment of religion. It would only be a violation of the "right to privacy" that the supreme court invented, which is not found in the constitution. I would oppose an attempt at such a ban, and it reasonably would be considered unconstitutional as a federal law because it goes beyond the powers given to the feds (like the individual mandate, but apparently Roberts was desperate to uphold the law at any cost).
