As mentioned above, it had nothing to do with religion, on with a
wingnut amateur mathematician (who apparently wanted to get
royalties on his "revolutionary" discovery).
The House introduced the bill, and at one point referred it to the
Committee on Swamplands, then passed it.
The Senate, however, was advised by an actual mathematician, and
spend a half an hour making bad puns about it, before tabling in
indefinitely. Mostly, apparently, because major newspapers were
already making fun of *them* for even considering it.

Blaming it on religious wingnuts says far more about about bias of
the person doing teh blaming than the bill, or religious wingnuts.
None of it complimentary.
