It does not single out a single religion. And there is no way it violates the establishment clause which is about governments promoting religion. It is the Free Exercise clause that forbids the government from singling out religions.
An example of this is when they passed a law forbidding the slaughter of chickens for sacrificial purposes. That is unconstitutional, it was expressly to keep Santeria from practicing.
In the late 1800 the Supreme court took on Reynolds and forbid the Mormons from having more than one wife. This was not unconstitutional. Only one religion was practicing polygamy but they still said nope.
