Hardly, the first state religion was probably a toss-up between Confucianism (which although more of a philosophy is sometimes described as a religion) and Shintoism in Japan, the later dates back to around 1,000 BC. In the western world, the Roman religion of the many gods was probably the first official state religion. Centuries later, they persecuted the Christians as atheists as they would not offer incense to their many Gods.
