The First Amendment addresses freedom of religion in the following manner:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"
The First Amendment to the United States Constitution, part of the Bill of Rights, states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." This provision is commonly interpreted as preventing the government from favoring one religion over another or imposing a specific religion on its citizens.
The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution prohibits the government from interfering with religion by establishing a separation of church and state. This means that the government cannot establish a national religion or impede upon the free exercise of religion by individuals.

The government cannot sponsor or promote specific religious practices in schools, coerce students to participate in religious activities, or show preference for one religion over others. Additionally, public schools cannot teach religious doctrine as objective truth or require students to pray in a particular manner.
the separation of church and state as outlined in the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. This means that public schools cannot promote or endorse a specific religion, nor can they inhibit the free exercise of religion.

His ideas helped in many ways but most importantly his belief in Religious and freedom from government sponsored religion influenced the 1st Amendment to the Constitution. The 1st Amendment (Bill of Rights) protects citizens from having their government dictate religious practices.

the things they say is that they cant effect religion
In some countries, church aka religion is part of government policies and in some countries a particular religion is called the "official religion" of these nations. In Western nations, religion normally plays no role in government practices and policies. In the United States Constitution, the first amendment states that the government cannot establish an "official" religion, nor interfere with the practice of different religions among its citizens. There is a good reason for the amendment to forbid government interference in religion, it prevents government from denying citizens part of their freedoms.
The Establishment Clause is part of the First Amendment. It keeps Congress and other government office out of religion, they cannot define religion or religious practices.
Amendments cannot be changed. They can be superceded by another amendment, or repealed (revoked) by another amendment.

In theory, your question would be answered, "yes it is true". In reality, the only way your question would be answered the same is if you changed "cannot" to "should not". As we all know, our government is anything but "fair and impartial" to anything, especially - religion.
The First Amendment forbids Congress from establishing a religion the way England did when it created the Anglican Church.
