ABSOLUTELY NOT!

The are specifically to pass no law attempting to limit religion ... end
of story. If they pass a law which bans anything religious, anywhere,
they have already broken ties with the Constitution and now tread
treasonous grounds ... it is like, DUH!

As the paragraph you provided so adequately points out:
"And in the first Amendment, "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."
