The fact that the Founders sonquickly broke into "tribes" seems to take the premise out of this.
At no point did the Federalists sit down and whine that the Anti-Federalists were becoming a religion.
Further, you are conflating British history and bias with American. There were few Catholics of note in the US; in fact at roughly the same time John Jay, the first Supreme Court justice was arguing Catholics could never be Americans, the Founding Fathers were finishing a treaty promising that Americans were incapable of disliking Muslims in the Treaty of Tripoli.
Regardless, the First Amendment was for the government to ignore this stuff, not create some kind of arbitrary even-footing for butt hurt political factions.
And if it was, I think the left has a lot better case about having been systematically murderered for a hundred years, then what ever center-right party feels like there's not enough television about them, or whatever pathetic feelings they want the government to rectify for them.
