This law says that people who were not white and not Christian could be made slaves. It also says these people were "real estate," that is, property. This shows that the United States had chattel slavery, and that this slavery was based on race and religion.

It's hard for a US citizen to see how the question makes sense. There are many religions practiced in the US (along with many people who practice no religion at all) because those religions exist. Anyone is free to practice religion in the US as he/she sees fit, as long as the civil law is not violated. There is no state religion here, and no requirement to practice a religion. Freedom of religion is one of the issues that led to the existence of the US in the first place.So, in a sense, it is not "the US" that has many religions; in terms of the civil law, enshrined in the Constitution, the US has no religion in particular. It is the citizens of the US who are free to practice whatever religion they choose.
Human + Religion = Law
christian
Freedom of Religion. "Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of a religion..." Anyone can practice any religion they want based on their first amendment right.
