Yes. The Bill of Rights in the Constitution of the United States restricts the Congress of the United States. The 14th Amendment extends those restrictions to the state legislatures. Congress was never permitted to have an established religion. Before 1832 The State of Massachusetts had an established religion. The 14th amendment now prohibits that.
