The First Amendment says; "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."

Thus - the government may make no law establishing an "official" state religion, nor may they prevent anyone from practicing a religion - they may not control the right of the people to express their views publicly - they may not regulate or control the press(media) - and they may not prevent the people to gather peceafully or present pleas and petitions for the solution to their problems.
