      Not sure if that’s sarcasm, but I’ll explain regardless:

      Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion

      This part means that the government is not allowed to favor one religion above the others. A state releasing a mandate would fall under this. A mandate is “an authoritative command or instruction”.
