Literally Reading the Establishment Clause

“Congress shall make no law respecting
An establishment of religion…”
Or, in other words,
Congress shall make laws disrespecting Establishments of religion.
That is the law. No,
Every papist may not be a rapist
But priests are creeps — at the very least
Congress shall make laws disrespecting
Establishments of religion,
And all their dogmatic delusions
What are they waiting for?
