It does, though.

The First Amendment to the United States Constitution prevents the government from making laws respecting an establishment of religion...

Literally written to protect people from religious persecution in ANY way

The radical right have repeatedly said that freedom of religion does not mean freedom FROM religion, and that is exactly why they have the "right" to force their religion upon others though law and courts. They read it as the Federal government is not allowed to choose one national religious sect, but states can enforce any religion they want, which happens to be a violent usurpation of "christianity".

That's not freedom from religion. That's freedom from a religious state.

It only says that CONGRESS shall make no law. The states think they have that power to enforce a religion but the national government does not.

They might think that, but they don't.

And yet, here we are....posting commandments in schools (and not Beatotudes) and removing women's rights in accordance with God's Plan

Yes, but it's not actually constitutional to do what Louisiana is doing. It'll get challenged in federal court before too long.

And the abortion rights thing is pure racism and control. They don't want white women getting abortions because they don't want to become the minority. Plus, the Bible literally has instructions for an abortion ritual, and says in multiple places that life begins at first breath.
