The First Amendment doesn't provide for a "state religion", but allows and gives the right for people to go to any church ( or no church) that they wish. The founding fathers had seen what happened to people who lived under a state sponsored religion and eventually the oppression of other religions takes place not allowing for people to believe or not believe in the religion of their choice.
