National would be redundant. Establishment doesn't mean "creation" in
this
context, it means giving official recognition by the government.

And would not a law passed based solely on religious beliefs be "official
recognition"?

I agree that establishment doesn't mean creation in this context. That was
my point.

Then I don't understand you point. The ammendement says congress may not
establish a religion. Do you think that the rule is limitted to a national religion or
congress establishing one for Maryland alone?
