I say it promises freedom of religion.

Freedom of religion -- freedom to worship and believe however you choose without fear of repercussions or restrictions. It seems nowadays, if you want to have God written down somewhere or speak of your faith in a public place, the Constitution is misconstrued to prevent this freedom. Our forefathers began this country on their faith and the Word of God. They only wanted to prevent a state mandated church as it was in Great Britain. I think they would be turning over in their graves if they saw how organizations such as the ACLU infringes upon the religious freedoms of Americans --especially Christians.

The First Amendment guarantees the free exercise of religion to all Americans. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court has completely turned the First Amendment on its head, claiming that it prohibits Americans from praying in school, or in public settings. Nothing could be further from the truth.
All restriction is on the state. There is NO restrictions on the individual. Unfortunately, most people today are victims of the public (government) schools, and they don't understand this.
The First Amendment says that you can pray any time, and any where you wish. The State cannot stop you. The state cannot compel you to pray.
The First Amendment also says that Congress shall not establish a (particular) religion. Unfortunately, we have an official state religion: evolution. Evolution is preached in the public (government) schools under the guise of science. Since it cannot be observed, repeated of falsified, it is not science, and honest scientist know it.

Freedom of religion. If your follow lack of religion that is your right but it doesn't mean the entire populace has to be free from religion. The "separation of church and state" was legislation from the bench which, by the way, is unconstitutional.

Neither. The Constitution guaranties that the government will not act to establish a religion or prohibit the practice of religion.

Both, actually...
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"

I agree with you. There is no evidence of a "freedom from religion" in the constitution. There is only judicial legislation that is keeping faith down.
