This is the exact wording of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances".
This of course will answer the first part of your question more easily than the second. This amendment is about freedoms of speech & religion. Previously, the people who came to the United States people legally had to worship as the King told them they must. Under the first amendment, citizens of the US are free to worship (or to not) as they believe is right without being stopped by the government. It protected religion from "state".
