According to the establishment clause, the government is required to:
1. remain neutral toward all religions.
2. favor religious groups over nonreligious groups.
3. favor nonreligious groups over religious groups.
4. establish an official religion in the United States.

The answer is (1) Remain neutral towards all religions

Explanation:

The Establishment Clause is a clause that is contained in the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. The clause prohibits government from making laws that respect the establishment of religion. It also prohibits government from establishing an official religion as well as initiating actions that serve to favour a particular religion over another.

From the provisions of the clause, it is obvious that government is meant to remain neutral to all religions as the clause requires that government should neither respect, elevate nor favour religions.
