A broader reading that would equate "Congress" with the "Federal Government" will lead to a different understanding. It is clear from that the framers thought religion played an important role in daily life, but equally clear that they thought govt had no proper role regarding what that role should be. This is not rocket science. The 1st Amendment is pretty straight forward. Congress is part of the Federal Government; it is NOT the sole entity. The Federal Government is comprised of the Judicial, Legislative and Executive Branches. It would be false and misleading to make such a broad interpretation... It is just another example of liberals distorting our rights to fit their socialist vision.
