The constitution guarantees freedom OF religion, NOT freedom FROM religion.
==========
This is precisely what the Constitution has to say on the subject:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The simplest reading is that the government isn't to make one religion "the religion of the land", or prevent anyone from worshipping as he or she wishes, or speaking up as he or she chooses, or prevent people from gathering for any purpose so long as it's non-violent, or to complain to the government about the government.
Religion and politics are not to mix, for the good of both.
