"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"

en.wikipedia.org
It is commonly understood that the Bill of Rights was not originally intended to apply to the states

The 14th amendment changed that understanding, but not until 1866. In the minds of the framers, they saw the religion debate as mostly Catholic v Protestant. I believe that they would be shocked at the extent to which we have taken a simple directive.

Child sacrifice is an inherent part of worshipping Baal/Molech. But it's illegal. Is that not a law "prohibiting free exercise of religion?"

Today's reality is that "separation of church and state" have become nothing more than political buzzwords for people who are angry at God, like Solon, for example.
