The entire amendment
Ammendment 1 US Constitution
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 implications of the amendment not only prohibits giving any particular religious denomination preference but gives all denominations or no denomination may be stopped from professing their beliefs, ideals or theories. But under no condition may one impose their beliefs, ideals or theories to any person or group simply because the other person or group disagrees with the ideals of a particular religious belief. In no way can anyone prohibit a person from stating his views on creation, evolution, God, no god etc. as long as it does not infringe on the rights of others. Putting creation into science would go against this not because creation can not be taught but cannot be taught as science because it isn't. ID is no more science than creation since there has been no scientific proof as such. Such ideas can only be taught in a class on religion, but not as an attempt to proslytze in a classroom.

There is no better love between 2 people than mutual respect for each other
