Negative ! IT means that the State is to stay out of the business of the church.

On the other hand - did you know that in the early days - religious services were held at the Capitol.

That’s half of the meaning, but a half-truth is an unbalanced thing and it misleading by its very nature. You have ignored or misunderstood what an “establishment” of religion is all about in historical context.

Establishment of a religion - means that the govt makes one or more religions the official religion.
The USA never had an official religion -(though some States/Commonwealths did for many years)
