yes. Under freedom of religion there is also the converse, freedom to abstain from religion. "Under God" is forced religion (plus all religions don't believe in one god). But nobody really cares.
The Bill of rights DOES go against forcing religion on others, as that would be limiting your lack of religion (atheism) or you religion that doesn't believe in one god (polytheism, paganism, to some extent most Eastern religions).

The Pledge originally said ". . . indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
The "under God" was added by grandstanding politicians in the 1950's.
Yeah, I think "under God" is unconstitutional but I ain't the Supreme Court.
I figure you can have either "indivisible" OR "under God" but not both.

No, it doesn't, as the Constitution does not prohibit the expression of religion. It simply forbids Congress from passing legislation that limits the freedom of religion.

No. Separation of church and state means the government can't be run by any church, nor can any church be favored by the government. It has been deliberately misinterpreted by libs. It's one of their talking points. They want to destroy government by the people.
