Carries the same language as the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution:

Article I of the Louisiana Constitution contains the Declaration of Rights. Section 8 includes the right to freedom of and from religion: "No law shall be enacted respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

So what's all this, then, about the 10, 11, 12 or so Commandments?
