The term 'encouraged' implies a special interest imo, rather than equal protection under the law. Thus i vote contradiction. Of course, i base this on the assumption that churches should be 'protected and encouraged' by the state. That assumption in turn is based on the idea that if founders were talking about private initiatives, they wouldn't be talking about it in the first place - it's none of their business. And i think they believed that as well.
